Any idea how to keep gold hardware on a guitar from fading? Tuners specially....

Don't touch them.

I would be interested in the answer to this as well. My body chemistry seems to fade the gold plating on hardware.

Buy nickle and wear yellow tinted glasses

Or you could wipe down with a SOFT cloth after each session, it's the acid man, you better off with them yellow glasses.
