Default Sun faded walnut

Thanks for the responses regarding tack cloth residue.

My next decision is whether to try to fix a sun faded part of the speaker cabinet. The unfaded part is covered by a removable cloth panel which will remain on most of the time. I don't want this project to be overly complicated so I might decide just to live with this. I thought I'd first ask to see if anyone would suggest that this would be rather easy to fix. Obviously I don't want to end up with the bottom darker than the top. Any advice?

Barry, my son's a furniture finisher and is often asked to fix sun faded solid wood kitchen worktops. The way they do it is to strip them back completely, stain them to get an even colour then re-finish. Alternatively (just a thought), you could leave the normally covered area uncovered until it reaches the same shade as the rest but this could take some time.
