interior plastic faded by alcohol!

Wife used a rag with alcohol on it to "clean" dash and it faded the plastic door below the radio. Now looks gray-ish.

Any options other than painting it black? Thanks,

Get a new part? You should know alcohol and plastics don't mix.

Go get some Meguiars "Armor All" equivalent. I forget what it's called at the moment - Plastic and Rubber Care, or something like that. I alcoholed my dash to install a dash kit, which was installed for about two years. When I pulled it off, it was still gray and faded underneath, but I hit it with the Meguiars and it looks like nothing ever happened.
