Interior plastic trim and panel detailing

What is the best way to clean the plastic trim pieces for the interior of the cab?

I am looking at :
- Door Panels
- A pillar plastic trim
- Headliner plastic trim
- B pillar plastic panels (the ones between the door and the rear window)
- Dash panel

Of interest for me right now is the A, B, and headliner trim.
I am in the process of gathering up the correct pieces.
I am going to re-dye the trim as needed.

What processes do you guys use to remove prior dye?
What are correct ways to do this without damaging the pebble grain present?
What dyes do you use, and what is the correct process for re-dying them; especially for a long lasting result?

THANX

This is what I used on my 83 trim pieces, went from tan to black, came out great, got the cleaner with the paint ;)

Also wondering about this. i was just going to power wash the stuff. of course a good amount away. or maybe just good ol soap and hot water? ánybody try those "magic eraser sponges"?

Wax and grease remover to clean, then SEM color coat to re dye. I also use SEM adhesion promoter before I apply the color. Covers well, and holds up good.

SEM brand seems appealing.
Any suggestions on how you applied it?
Aerosol spray can?
Paint gun?

The plastic trim pieces where originally blue, the shelf & trim piece behind the seat where originally gray tweed. (The door panels are aftermarket & came black).
