Default interior vinyl discoloration

hey all, i have a 2005 outback xt limited and recently i've noticed that the some of the vinyl surfaces on the doors are starting to turn white/light blue. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I think it's a combination of the sun + some of the armor all protectant I've used. Any suggestions on how to restore the vinyl to its original color?

SEM and Dupli-Color make vinyl paint or dye..
You are correct, Armor-All should not be used on interior vinyl surfaces.

+1 SEM on this. Make sure you follow their directions perfectly. They have one of the best systems for this. I resorted a 40 year old everyday sun damaged vehicle with their method and it still looked good 10 years later. Most car restorers near me use SEM.
