Anodised silver roof arches

[Anonymous]

Hi guys just had my rcz for just over a week now but on the passenger side roof bar it's got the milky white discolouration appeared :crazy: it's like it's eched into the metal finish. Dealer been good so far and agreed and have ordered a new one and being fitted monday. Has any one had one of these off before as looks a mare of a job! Other wise car is fantastic :thumbup:

Protect the arches with some wax after washing, never use a cutting polish them.

Hi jactac cheers for that, the arch was like it when picked the car up so i was hopeing it would come off on its first wash but like I say it's etched into the finnish. Still car goes in tomorrow to be done :thumbup:

Hi mrizzle I will post some pics up to try and show you guys this problem!

Cheers
Stu

TFR from valters or dealers washes can cause this problem milky look when they leave it on to long or its not diluted right.

To true TFR can strip your paint if used neat, amateur valet company's have no idea!

I noticed this on my car yesterday, it's not too bad at the moment. Just like white milk marks like I've not rinsed off the car shampoo right. Will keep an eye on it for the moment. Might be something to mention when it gets its 1st year service, along with my hubs that are starting to rust!

Did you manage to take any photos of how bad yours was? Did you get them replaced under warranty?

Hi,

I have exactly the same om my practically brand new RCZ.
Small white milky-like marks on both the arches. The car is only 3 weeks old...
I first thought it was just damage you can't avoid due to small rocks (very bad roads in Belgium), but I find it a bit too much for only +/- 1000 miles of road the car has done.

Anyone who has experience with this problem?

Should I talk to the dealer about it?
Thanks guys
