Restore dash board/faded vinyl

[S15AK]

Hi Guys

Not sure how this happened but part of my dash seems to have sun fade or something, looks like something has been split on the dash and the sun has cooked it, so I've got large faded patches all over it. Now I've tried back to black & shoe polish, which works but only for a week or so and it fade comes back.

Anyone got any tip for sorting this out please?

Is dye an option?

Try thoroughly cleaning it first, you may be surprised at how well it will come up

I've tried cleaning it, its the black that has faded in patches so its deeper damage. I've googled it and not really finding much. I did see some dye but not quite sure which type to get..

Guy on another forum I use dyed the interior of a three series from grey to black. Not sure I would be that game, but it looked like a decent job in the pics.

So it would seem like bespoke car interior dye exists, if that is helpful.
