My galaxy van's front boot vinyl cover has lost it's sheen and definitely needs to be restored. What product/s does anyone recommend to bring it back to a better condition.

clean it with sugar soap then try Mr Sheen. Give it a buff after it soaks in a bit.

If itās colour . I would paint first with etching paint . If you want it to just shine ? Add some clear epoxy paint . https://www.boatingcentral.com.au/northane-gloss-2-part-polyurethane-1l/?sku=&cmp_id=1063547925&adg_id=60653513988&kwd=&device=m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItp-9w_mg3QIVh6uWCh3MjQo3EAQYAyABEgJDrPD_BwE

I "fixed" mine when I had the Eagle - backed into the front LHS corner! The repair man did an excellent job, even replacing the foam under the vinyl & giving me a nice new gold vinyl - it was 100% on the previous faded maroon!
I guess you chaps don't want to get that extreme!!
An old trick (when I was a kid) was to polish it with floor polish - the type our mums used when they had to get down on their hands & knees! It did cars well too!

I use "303". It seems to do a good job but needs reapplying every few weeks. I used to have to buy it online but now can get it from supercrap.
Cheers

Hi. I just painted mine with low sheen water based paint, come up a treat, it looked good until it got hit with hail 18 months latter.
I did ask for advice from paint shops and upholstery supplies. The left over gutter and down pipe paint was the cheaper option.
