I don't know if there is an answer to this inquiry but Let me explain.
When I bought the soon to be named Gatsbys' CRUISER  , the PO had redone the interior with a light colored Oak. He skinned the cabinets with the same light Oak. Since the outside of the GMC was old dead paint, it was the interior that sold her.
Now I am well known to not like a lot of processed wood in my living spaces because they never seem to keep that factory finish, through process of time, deterioration and ultra violet rays, the colors change from nice to ugly.
This is what is happening to the interior Light oak factory finish in Gatsbys' CRUISER .. The very nice factory finish is changing to a less then nice Yellowish oak. If I smoked I would blame it on the smoke residue but then I could wash it off.
I can open the drawer and see the factory color where the drawer covers the wood cabinet and where the yellow is appearing.
I know, over time what may happen is PAINT to cover the once lovely, now turning ugly Light Oak wood finish.
Have any of you seen this happen and other then paint or wall paper, what did you do to restore the factory finish??
