Quick note. Keith is very right on the case hadening still being present after the color is gone. One point, though. Case color is not photosensitive and does not fade in sunlight. It fades from the abrasion of handling. Thus, a clear coat protectant will shield it from abrasion and it will not fade, even though light can get into it.
