btk: I ran into the same problem. the sun faded my front door handle...kind of yellowed it. I went to Lowe's spoke with them and they told me that they did not have a product there that would not eventually succumb to the sun. I have brushed nickel door handles. so I tried some very fine steel wool and it cleaned it up almost to original. I intend to work on it more. I am leary about using a metallic cleaner

In the meantime I will continue to search out if such a sun resistant product is available If I do I'll post it
