Adam's Interior Detailer works fine for me - just reapply every few months when the ghosts reappear.

I bought a bottle of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Acrylic Black Spray Wax during Prime day and thought I'd try it. kinda half assed it because I did it while waiting for wife in the car but thought it did a decent job covering most of it. Don't recall how bad it was but looks pretty good now.

Idea theoretically makes sense because there is black pigment in the spray.

The black-pigment part makes sense, but the high-gloss part (just like ArmorAll in this respect) makes it unsuitable for dashboard tops, which have to meet federal standards for being less glossy so they don't create distracting glare and sun reflections.

I'm considering it more for the center console armrest in our RX which is very vulnerable to stains unlike the one in my ES - I suppose they changed the material from way back then. Thought it was all Nuluxe but maybe not. The one in my ES still looks new.
