  1. Well, unfortunately, if dye was removed and you can see the difference in color (probably more of a gray/blue now, right?) then your only fix is to have it re-dyed. Your Lexus dealer should be able to tell you the name of the company they use to re-finish cars before they sell them as CPO's. It's not actually "dye", it's more like paint that they spray on right over the vinyl. Since your only issue is with color (vs a rip or tear), it wouldn't require any prep work before spraying, so my guess is that the cost would be between $25-$50 and probably take about 5 minutes to perform as soon as they've got the rest of the door masked off.

    No biggie <_<

    I'm looking for some feedback also from other owners as to how they clean the doors panels areas that have that mat black textured surface. Our 2010 IS is only a month or so old but the areas I noted in the picture are getting a chalky white/grey shadowing or staining to them. What is the best way to clean them. Now that I hear about products like Lexol having actually removed some of the dye from the panels, I want to make sure I use the proper product on these areas.
