Post wood trim problem

first off thank you in advance for your responses. i am here to talk about the faded wood trim that most of us unfortunately have. i was wondering if there is a way to redo the wood trim, to make it look new fresh out of the lexus factory.


Thanks

You can have them re clear coated with automotive clear.

I hated the original wood color so I had mine painted piano black and clear coated!

That's what I did, but it takes a lot of very careful sanding to get the cloudy old finish off, and before you know it you're digging into the razor thin layer of wood.
