Title: Sun faded wood paneling - restorable or not?
Post by: iced ink on September 18, 2004, 01:47:17 PM
Hey everyone -

I just inherited a 74 Squire wagon that was living uncovered in my parent's yard for about 4 years - in the sun (YEEEEEEEOWCH!)

The wood paneling on the one side of the car that the sun hit most became pretty faded/whitened over the years. Is there any way to restore this, *ahem*, lovely wood paneling at least back to a darker color?

Thanks for any help-

mike

I have used Armor-All or STP Son-of-a-Gun on my Squires to make them look good. Once the vinyl has started to go away, however, the only way to get it back to where it looks great is to replace it. Just the materials to do so are about $300-$400.
