So I have this CRV which the trim is all spotted looking and so are the windshield wipers. Do you think DLux would do anything or they are beyond help? The wipers came out worse than real life, or maybe true to life because the sun was right on them during pic.


Also, how would you suggest handling abused and human oil compacted arm rests that look like they've formed leather? The steering wheel I assume is gone too...

I assume a steamer would help with the arm rests, the rest I think are done for, your thoughts?

You can rattle can paint those wiper arms (off the car) and they will look like new. Steering wheel looks beyond help, the door trim, well, you should be able to darken it a little with something, hard to do anything with the physical damage. Arm rest...steamer sounds like it's worth a shot.

Should have taken a pic of the bumpers while I was at it, some parts are completely white and it has the striping. I figured I was gonna give this a shot, and try it on the wiper arms and the door trim.
