Faded black stereo components: Can black color be restored?  

++++++

Hi, I have a great 5-disk CD changer from before 1993, which has a solid black metal top (no vents). The top has clouded, looks dusty, probably from time, and having been cleaned a few times with Windex. Is there any way to make it look blacker, more like its old self?
Thanks so much!!

Why not black spray paint, Anna?

If you don't like spray paint for any reason, you can also pick up a small pint bottle of Dykem Black Staining Liquid (basically an ink) from any Grainger store or equivalent - it would get you nice and black also.

You'd probably get better shine out of the spray paint though.
