Default Shale Interior Discoloring

I know I live in Florida, and its freakin hot here...But I have tint on my windows, and I use a windshield sun visor. But my shale interior is starting to change to a darker color. If it will stop raining I will try to get a couple pictures to show. Is anybody that has this color having any problem like this. I take car of the interior. Zaino leather care products.

Haven't had that problem before with mine, but then again I replaced all my leather with Vette Essentials. The dash and other interior pieces are holding up fine, might just be lots of Florida sunshine!

Yup, my shale interior has cracked in places below headrest. Nothing to fix that except new seats or covers. I'm in south Texas, so I feel your pain.

The dash and console are fine. It's just the seats... Maybe I can get somebody to give me 5% tint. It might slow the process down.
