35th Anniv.; Paint discoloring
It's been a while since I've posted but now I'm freaking out! The paint on my 35th is discoloring. The white is turning darker!! Additionally, the armrests as well have begun discoloring.
Yes, this is a garage kept car and gets about 1200 miles a year on her only on beautiful sunny days. It's also kept covered in the garage. I am aware there is an inherent paint flaw that causes this but my question is...how do I get it to turn back to white!! Same with the armrests!
If I leave it out in the sun, any idea how long it will take for the paint to return to full white?
3/17/06 - An update, it looks like Leatherique will bring the armrests back to white...so far!
Thanks all!

I have seen it referanced that leaving it in the sunlight helps brighten back the paint
