Once the clear coat does not protect the cellulose pearl any longer, the Uv and other toxins attack the pigments and shifts and twist the color , the only way you might bring back some life. Is to wet sand and buff or a extreme , recoat the clear

Good luck

The brown tinge may be the mahogany shell showing through the wrap after some of the color has faded away (usually due to UV light affecting the wrap color).

Most noticeable on oyster wraps.

It does look more like surface yellowing. Sorry if I misled with using the word brown.

Using something like lacquer thinner is very effective. However, it is also destructive and not really for the faint of heart. It removes the outer clear coat but could also damage the pearl wrap underneath, so great caution should be taken. Lots of info available for doing that on this forum.

I recently removed roughly 60-70% of yellowing off a WMP Radio King using a 4-step Turtle Wax headlamp lens cleaner from an auto parts store. Worked well, took no more than an hour, and didn't harm the pearl underneath. Carnauba wax to re-seal it and it looks great.

Again, do a search on the forum before you decide and execute - lots of good tips out here for a project like this. I learned a lot when I was restoring that RK.

I'd try the Novus 2 and 1 on it and leave it at that. It will give you a nice gloss and lustre and will not harm the wrap in anyway.

I’m with Mike.The Novus polish is SAFE and effective.

Would you machine buff or by hand with the Novus?

By hand here.

When you just buff , it just polished period .

To get rid of scratches, and yellowing you must remove layers of clear and if not to far you can buff back to a great gloss or recoat.
