Wood trim stain color
 
I have some W108 wood trim (window pieces and front bow) that require refinishing. Can anyone who has refinished their wood tell me the correct color stain that best matches the wood already in theses cars?

Sorry folks, I know better than posting a question without doing some searching first. I did some hunting and found helpful information here in the Detailing and Interior section (I know, duh).

Seems like cherry is the stain color of choice and sanding the veneer on this old wood is a big no no.

Scotch Brite pads are okay to use in place of sanding.

OR Minwax Mahogany

No sanding only paint remover gently
2 coats polyurethane before sanding

There is also a LOT of different combinations of stain color . Sometimes the glove box lid is stained the correct color inside o if you remover one the eyeball vents you can it there .
