If your white is dull you might try some Mr. Clean majic eracers and Westly's Bleach White. They cost the interior heavily with 303 and let it sit and then re-whipe it down with more 303 and buff with dry terry cloth towels.

The Magic Eraser is the bomb! I used it on my engine hatch last yr. Could not believe how white it was under all the exhaust buildup. Didn't reailze how bad it really was. Word of caution, once you do a little spot, you gotta do the whole thing.

But if your was spray dyed before, not sure if anything will help.

303 is like an Amour-All protector. However I;ve found that if sprayed/coated on heavy and let sit it sometimes brings out deep dirt/stains too. Also try try some Roll-Off too.

I also follow up the Magic Eraser with 303. Like FeverMike, I put it on heavy and let it soak in a day, reapply, then wipe down. Don't know what is in the eraser that makes it work so good, but as with ANY cleaner, feel it's best to always apply the 303 protectant to keep the material from drying out.
I used it on some stains in the cabin last yr on the leather. The eraser looked like it was removing the white leather dye. So can't use it on the leather stuff.

303 has UV protectant. Perfect for boats and leaves no oily residue. Good for the stitching too. Available from West Marine and the likes.

Have heard/read numerous times that Armor All has alcohol in it and actually dries out the vinly, so never use it.
