Default Ski Slope Refresh

I am sure I am not the first to use VHT Wrinkle Plus on their ski slope but thought I would share anyway. The vinyl on mine had started to peel away, so I stripped it all off, scuffed with a red Scotch-Brite pad and coated according to the instructions. I did bake it in the oven as directed as I wanted the tightest texture possible.

I have a few other extra ones and have also thought about covering with a wood veneer to match the dash, but for now I am happy with how this little project turned out.

Time will tell how durable it is, but I've used this to cover my cam covers and it has held up nicely, so it should be fine in the interior.

I used the Wrinkle Plus on the valve cover on a Saab 900S but on my Jag I used a satin paint to more duplicate what came from the factory. I would bet it will wear well on the interior.
