Not really, it happens with age AFAIK.

You can polish them up while they're still on the car but it's really best to remove the panels from the dash and doors so you can get into the little corners and right to the edges. I did mine a while back using just elbow grease but I'm think of doing them again and hitting the wood trim with some real fine wetsanding and waxing the top (or clear coating them... not sure yet).

Anywho, nice job NY!

thanks, yeah I did them with the panels just in place on the car, didn't bother removing them.

I used 3M Rubbing Compound and 3M Plastic Polish, it really looks newer than I have ever seen it since I've owned the car, but I'm still gonna spray it

from what I hear though BLK, its not difficult to spray the wood with it still installed and still get full coverage over it. Masking the interior is fairly easy by using a large tarp lol.
