Don’t use thinner you ruin it..... Clean with soap and water and let dry...then use a vinyl prep product like Sem's vinyl prep. It will soften the vinyl and the paint with adhere the surface better.
they also make it for leather and plastic

I just redyed my '79 Doeskin interior and prepped it all with this stuff first. It came out very nice.

Eastwood Company is where I got mine. I agree, use the plastic prep, then use Sand Free primer, ,then the dye. I bought it all in kit when I did my interior and am very happy with it. Just remember, use many light coats of dye or it will run.
