yes I noticed earlier posts re the arches....tried the cutting compound works a treat.... initially doesn't look great but work it and it comes up nice.Try a medium to heavy cut polish compound. Sounds crazy right? I restored mine doing that. They look new now. Lot's of rubbing required. If that doesn't work you can always have them painted.
I'm glad you posted up your results. I'm sure people think it's a stupid idea and it won't work. It's definitely worth a shot on your plastic arches. If it doesn't work, move onto plan B. No big deal.....yes I noticed earlier posts re the arches....tried the cutting compound works a treat.... initially doesn't look great but work it and it comes up nice.

Don’t be frightened to use a short bristle brush too, such as a nail brush. This works into the “grain” on the arches and helps bring them up.
Mine had been looking a bit shabby recently but after a couple of hours work they’re like new again

Hi, I actually had my roof bars wrapped in black, fantastic finnish, no discolouring after 8 months, that's the way to go....Hi, the black roof arches on my Z are begining to discolour and getting a bit patchy in places, does anyone have any advice/recommendations on how's best to restore/maintain them ?
Thanks
Never thought about having them wrappedIt cost me £150.00 to get the arches wrapped and the chrome on the front badge, came with a guarantee, any problem's replaced at no cost, just a wash and looks amazing, completely recomend it.
