Any exposed switch around the dash or around the shifted is dull but if you take your finger nail you can rub off the dullness. I imagine it is due to the car sitting out in the sun from the previous owner. Is there anything I can do to bring these switches back to there original factory look or somewhat close ??

I bought all new switches for mine, headlight switch is available from autozone for $15 and all the others i got from Fiero store... only one not available is the power mirror switch

That dullness is oxidation ...what I would do is try a tiny dab of rubbing compound and see if it will lift the oxidation...be aware that if there are any words printed on the plastic part they will rub off. Basically try it and see...at worst you will have to buy a new switch from Fiero store

You can lightly buff them with very fine (0000) steel wool.

Thanks for everyone's input I will try your ideas and I will probably end up buying new ones.
