Hi
I have a 1960 Mini Minor, which is in cherry red, including the interior door cards and areas of the seats. All of this is original trim. After removing the rear side panel cards and door cards, it is clear that they have discoloured perhaps with sunlight. The areas which were hidden away (before I removed the parts) show as the correct cherry red, and the exposed areas have gone very brown. I am not sure what material it is, but think it is vinyl.

Can anyone please recommend a process or product which can restore the original colour back to cherry red?

Thanks

I’m sure you can get colour restorer kits from woolies-trim.co.uk.

did a quick search for decosol as I remember it and it looks like its gone - probably not bunny friendly enough nowadays

but I did find this.................
