Cleaning RCZ alloy roof bars

[Anonymous]

I have found that the autoglym tyre shine works wonders on the roof bars. I used a bit on a sponge and it's brought them up light new

I used Angelwax Elixir on my matt black roof arches recently and it does work well, surprisingly

Nope I have the silver ones. It works wonders on them. Its just a silicone based product and have used for the last year. Makes them shine

Does that not leave them greasy though? :?

I just wipe the excess off afterward and they then look great.

Mmm I'd be a bit reticent to use it on the chrome roof arches. I'm not sure where you would stand should they stain. Tyre shine products are only for use on rubber or plastic trim,

Been using if for a year and looks as good as new. I would say its safer than using polish.

What made you try tyre treatment on your arches in the first place? It's not something that would have crossed my mind. I'd be too concerned about it slinging all over my windows and paintwork.

Just sprayed a bit on a sponge and then wiped over the roof bars. Doesn't get on the paint or windows then.

Nope. Use it on the tyres too. Makes the car look amazing

My aluminium/chrome? roof bars were fading and had watermarks and discoloration on them (Early 2011 156 sport).

Autoglym's Bumper and Rubber Gel brought them up like new with just a wipe and a polish. :dance: :dance:

after reading this ive just tried my meguires endurance tyre gel on my silver arches and the results are i have to say amazing :thumbup:

It really does work guys. My roof bars had rain marks on them. They now gleam. It is safe to use as the tyres sprays are also designed to make the wheels shine.

I'm still not sure about this - especially someone mentioned Megs endurance tire shine - this makes tyres go brown over time and when you consider it's made specifically for tyres, what would it do for the roof arches ????

Its only a silcone based product, it cannot damage it.

 

[RCZ1]

So why does it discolour tyres then?

Either way I have been using it for the last year and brings it up well. Up to you guys whether you give it a try.
