Default Seeing how much our interiors like to fade, Show us !

I know that mikestypeRR and ebelp have some pretty bad sun fade on the seats... Who else has sun fade and where else has it messed up your interior?

[i]Anything else but ITRs need not apply.
Cause I don't care.

I use this to help stop fading:

Stuff works great. Not greasy and stuff like Armoral (sp?). Gives it a nice factory shine, and keeps it looking great. Anyone who hasn't tried it I highly suggest it, very happy here.

The only place i've noticed any fading on my interior is on the tops of the rear seats where sun shone in through the hatchglass. She now lives in a garage and has medium tint on the hatch glass so hopefully it won't get worse. Does anyone know of anything we can use to try and get the color back?

Mine actually isn't bad, the camera flash just made it look that way.

The person who had the car before me made the backseats red and the top of them are all faded off because of the sun. I don't really care though cause i'm gonna take em out anyways.

Holy Crap Mike!

My 1998 has had tint from day 1, It lived in Fort worth for 3 years with no garage (apartment parking lot). Now in Chicago it is parked outdoors on weekdays. No fade, not even the tops of the rear seats.

mostly the car sits inside the garage, but when i do take it to work, or will leave it parked outside, i fold the seats down. this way its not in direct sunlight.
or put a tower over it.

edit: i will ask my friend when i see him again. he dyed his black again, and it looks cool, i see if he can remember what product he used.
