after years of use, the is not as perfect as i hope it to be. Well specifically, the kick panels, the lower parts of the doors and areas of the dash aren't as black in colour. What can i use to make those areas look better?

I use a great spray product called Cobra.... Most auto places have it. Brings the black up really well. Just spray it on and gently rub it over with a soft cloth. It has an anti-static element which reduces the dust build up on the dash too.

Try to use something water base, as most interior "clearer or protector" these days are petroleum base, which looks good at the start, but if you stop using it for a while, the plastic will harden & worst, oxides into white color.

I grab the stuff that professional use, you can walk into almost any auto trimmer & buy them.

Make sure you use a soft brush to rub the cleaner in, as it get rid of the dirt between the grain & just use a 100% cotton cloth to wipe it clean & then again use 100% cotton cloth to apply the conditioner.
