Mine is a little faded where the direct sunlight can hit it, but not as bad as the OP. I have tried various waxes and found Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax does a nice job darkening it and seems to last. It is also an amazing wax after a claybar - very smooth and glossy. I am sure real ceramic treatments are even better, but this is only $18/bottle and goes a long way. I did both Crossies, my Maserati twice, my Audi, and then my daughter did her new Audi and there is still product remaining.
