I've used Mothers plastic polish with a buffball mini, if its a little oxidation it will clean it up. Also try a heat gun, just heat enough to soften but not distort the plastic sometime this will rejuvenate it .

The old Z-Therapy SU video had all sorts of tips on it, including painting the console. It might be worth a look for you.

Why is it always paint I have brought back panels to near new that were nearly white from aging back to black. And even harder to do take yellowed panels and make them white again. Like I stated before some polish and heat go a long way in the plastic world. You might ask why heat, heat softens the material allowing the pigments in the inside the plastic to come to the surface thus removing the faded area. It's a neat trick, try it before painting you might not paint any more.

All very good ideas...I will give the console a go very shortly and I will take before and after shots.

Thanks again for the great tips.

IF you have put Armor All on it before, you need to do a really good job removing it in order for any paint to adhere. You may want to scrub it with TSP and a brush first.

I figured that it would need to be washed with some sort of degreaser for sure. TSP works well and isn't too caustic so that will likely be the first step.
