Can anyone recommend a chemical that will restore the colour back into the plastic/rubber door trim top on VE SS? I cleaned off some tape residue and with metho and now I have a tiny bit of white. Obviously metho wasn't safe on those trim tops.

Please don't use metho on the interior.

Use proper cleaning products that won't damage it.

Yep I know that now. It's a small blotch but I'd like to fix it if I can. The trims are near impossible to buy, so I'm finding.

I used this when restoring the hard plastic in my vt. It worked really well for me.
I found it works best when you use a fair amount when rubbing into the plastic.
Also works good on door seals.

Does it restore bleaching?

It helps. Depends on how bad the bleaching is.
Small spot, some has come off already. Will go see Autobarn today if I have time.
