Does anyone know of any reguvinator that can be applied to the dash to bring it back to its original red (burgandy) color,? my dash is bleached out and I would like to bring in back, Is there some kind of color rub on liquid something similar to tire black?

Let me start off bt saying I have never used this product on vinyl. I have used it on my Reatta gray factory carpet with excellent results. I suggest reading a can at your auto parts store and decide for yourself if you think it will do what you want. It is made by Dupli-Color, called Vinyl & Fabric coating. It comes in a lot of colors including neon shades(to remind me I am old) It says, for dashboards, door panels, seats and carpet. Read the can thoroughly then decide.

I used it on interior kick panels and door carpets on an 85 Riv...worked great. Its obvious that a spray product is not the ideal for an installed dash application.

Agree completely with DShip-

The product is decent, but trying to shoot new color on the dash while in the car is a nightmare at best, and a disaster at worst (I've tried this, so speak from experience). Even if everything you don't want color on is masked, you will end up getting over spray somewhere; and most likely sags and runs in the paint due to so many unusual angles.

Add to that that the slope of the windshield makes it impossible to get proper aim of the spray onto the top of the dash pad and IPC housing. To do this right requires removing the dash pad and carrier out of the car, not exactly your typical weekend project.

There are various rubber/vinyl "rejuvenatory" products that will mask chalkiness of the dash trim, but if yours is actually faded out, recoloring is the only option I'm afraid. Might consider a formed dash carpet (I am not a big fan of these personally) but it would be far easier to install a cover like this, than to try and repaint it in the car.

Don't know about dashes, but I had a lot of luck going to an old fashioned cobler to find matching polishes. Can't tell you what I used on my burgandy, as I gave it to the new owner, but it was a cheap and good fix for worn leather on my seats.
