Yes mine was HORRIBLE!! I used SEM vinyl paint (spray) and it looks stock! It's pretty easy to use. You just need to make sure you get the SEM soap and vinyl prep the make.

Here's one portion of the dash to show you what it looks like. Again it doesnt look painted....looks like stock vinyl..like brand new!

Interesting. I put some Z16 on it and it improved the appearance. I'm not sure how long it will last.

I'd pick up some Meguiar's Natural Shine interior protectant next time you're at walmart or something of the likes. It works very well, protects against UV, and lasts a long time. Smells pretty good, too.

For mine no matter what I put on it...like amor all etc it didnt help one bit. It just soaked right in and still looked brown. It was horrible. Your's must not be as bad as mine since you said the Z16 helped.
