Remodeling house for sale, water damage to imitation wood panelling

The basement family room has a couple walls finished in those 4x8
sheets of "wood" paneling. Each panel looks like serveral walnut
boards running vertically with a black line between each board.

Because of basement flooding, about 4 inches up on each board there is
a whitish area from the left side to the right.

Any suggestions for making the white parts look brown and black again?

They're going to test on a small spot whatever is suggested, but there
really aren't any spots to test where no one will see it, so I hope
they can hit the jackpot early.


I was thinking of Old English polish that includes the coloring. It
comes in dark, the original, and light? How's that sound? Dark or
light?

Thanks.

Careful you're proposing doing a coverup of a serious problem.

I'd at this point advise disclosing and selling. This should have been fixed
long ago.

This may mean it's best to just put the house on the market as-is, priced to
sell.
