How to restore weathered handle to original

I have read many posts about what others have used, I'm still not sure what to try.

Can someone tell me what the color is supposed to be? Black, or Dark Grey.

Can someone recommend what works best. I have fine detailing brushes, so I can clean off any wax residue first. I'm leaning towards a dye ????

As always, I appreciate any helpful hints or advise.

Happy Holidays to all.
I've always used Johnson & Johnson baby oil.Apply and then wipe it off;seems to last a couple of weeks.Worked on both of my previous 300 E's and works fine when needed on my current 400E.
