I have read that the 3M also have this fade effect. The two paint are are just different. The only way to prevent this is to always garage the dam thing which kinda defeat the purpose of a vehicle.
Anyway, it's just too costly for so little benefit if there is any benefit. Cheaper and better without it.
My car is DD. It will see a lot of stuff, chip and dents are just indication the car has gone the miles.

I probably garage my car a bit too much, it's been 1 and a 1/2 years and my sealant on the car is still very present, I still sheet off water after hundreds and hundreds of car washes now lol.

Haha!! I hear ya on that..... My car's actually mostly garaged (until school rolls around, which is now). I know for a fact, after my car comes back from paint shop, i'm def gonna do a good long detail on it and slap some plastidip on it right after to protect it from road debris for the fall and spring season.

I've had my car for 5 years or so, and everyday I fall more and more in love with it, so I'm sure i'll be keeping it for another 10 years 
If it were just any of my previous cheaper cars, I couldn't of agreed with you more. The GS is the car with the biggest purchase value I made, and I plan on keeping it for years and years to come. That includes the expenses that follow heheh.
I have wasted my money on that "junk" and while I couldn't agree with you more that it gives almost ZERO protection, the front skin does help from keys and whatnot scratching it up. I've dropped my phone with the skin on all around and needless to say, it looked like dookie. After a full housing replacement from Samsung and a Ballistics (rubber surround+hard) case, the phone looks flawless and I can sell the phone as "mint" condition.
That's great! I wanted to try the '13 GS350, but never had a chance too, and I didn't want to push my luck by asking. How did you get them to loan you one?
Yikes, that's some good insight hahaha.... The color fade that is. Did you detail your car and keep up with it over the years? I would imagine that's why the colors looked different in the two areas.

What do you mean by how did you get them to loan you a car?....
I had to wait a day for their "Installers" to come install it they told me to go get a loaner car and will call you when car is ready so I went to the loaner department and told them give me GS and they said its your lucky day we have GS F =]
Longo Lexus is one of the biggest Lexus dealers. They have a lot of loaners car!

My mother cooks in the garage (I do a wash after she cooks if I have the time before the grease bakes into the paint), sometimes I wash my car every other day too, because FL bugs SUCK on these o so short rides to do my errands... My stepfather also cuts wood in the garage so yes..... in the end, I do indeed wash it a bazillion times in the past few years . The car HAS spent most of it's 55k miles in the garage.
Oooo!! Lucky you haha!! Here in Lexus of Orlando, you have a few choices.... IS250, ES350, and CT200h...... they're NOW redoing the RX SUV..... Outside of that we get nothing

You don't have to believe me brother, she sauté's food (we're an Asian family, so to sauté/stir fry food is normal), if you're ever in a restaurant, go to the kitchen and look at their hood, GREASE ALL UP THERE, and they clean that thing often too! Otherwise it stains.....
I can show you all the stuff that ISN"T covered in the garage.... I can also send you a # to my paint guy, who complained to me when he was repainting a door for me, because he said when the car was baking, oil residue was all inside his paint booth and screwed up his paint booth...... It wasn't until AFTER the incident with the paint booth, I started to notice and took better care of my car

Not sure why your happy with it but most people that pay to buy a brand new car would prefer to keep it looking that way... who wants a car that "shows" it's mileage?
