What can I say but WOW they look like brand new...
Over here in the UK I have only seen a couple of RCZs that have not had a problem with the black arches could also be down to what's in our water. The water marks on the chrome arches are bad I think due to the line scale and the difference between the soft and hard water supply..
Thanks for sharing your photos as previously said wow.. Drive safe and stay lucky 🍀

Mine have not suffered any issues with the black arches, car has been garaged and given the possible issues with the leather dash caused by the sun I try and park in the shade, I use 'Finish' by Autosmart which keeps all plastic, rubbers tip top.

Mine had surface water spotting that I couldn't remove by washing. I used a mixture of Meguiars Ultimate compound and a bit of extra heavy cut boat fibreglass polish to speed the process along. Meguiars is very gentle and would've taken too long :) Before I took these photos I gave it a quick wipe with Aerospace 303. They literally look new. The compound did not smooth off the surface dimples which is what I would have expected. The UV rays are brutal in Oz, so I try and keep the car under cover as much as possible.
