My car spends most of its time in my garage or in the covered parking ramp at work (so, not in direct sunlight).

Is there anything I can do to make the "faded" paint less noticeable?
Glad you posted this. I've been wondering the same thing.

Thanks for recommending this. I'll give it a shot. Since removing my dealer decal a month or so ago, I shake my head every time I look at the difference in the paint. MB is such a bitch to maintain.
