i have had some gold TE37's for over 2 years now... i take great care of them and now they are hella faded from when i first bought them... i only use mild soap and water to clean them... thinks its a sun fade.. anyone else encounter this?

 

yes... depending on how hot they get from driving, braking or just the sun, the clear coat eventually comes off. Once that happens, the paint is exposed and that is when you see the fading that occurs.
