Maintenance on Texalium interior panels
Just wondering if there is any maintenance to be done on the texalium / faux cf interior pieces in my ISF. They are starting to noticeably get more yellow. I saw a newer ISF interior and didn't realize the stark contrast until I compared the two.
Any tips would be helpful.
Thank you.

Based on my experience with carbon fiber and various resins, the yellowing is most likely due to oxidation/UV exposure and is within the resin itself. If that is the case, you will not be able to rid the piece of the yellow. A couple of fixes: find a used piece on eBay (availability comes and goes) or overspend for a new one at a dealership. There was a few people a while back that put a layer of window/taillight tint vinyl to give a darker carbon fiber look. Tint film on ISF trim
Here's a great video on how to polish interior plastics, it doesn't hurt to try but likely will not yield the results you are after:
