Hello Dingley,

there are several posts on the forum that cover the silver arches and how best to keep them clean, BUT and there is always a but....
It depends on what state they are in because not only are they a prat to keep good, they also are affected by corrosion from under the lacquer, so without pictures it's hard to answer or give a definitive reply because you could be talking about corrosion and we could be advising about splotches etc...
Have a delve into the best forum for the RCZ, you will find many answers to many questions.

And remember, we aren't just here for the faults, we like to see other RCZ's and what peeps are doing with them, we also have meets, next year for example is the tenth year anniversary of the great Z and much is a foot for a day to remember...... and we want as many RCZ's as we can muster, so tell your mate / your next door neighbour / your dentist and dare I say it - your hairdresser.... we want you all - LOL!!!!

You can have them wrapped the same colour. I’ve seen anorher RCZ where they were wrapped and you couldn’t tell them from the originals.

Once the roof arches have heavily marked they is no way of getting them back to looking like new. Anything used on them to mask them is only a temporary solution I’m afraid

Arches. Works a treat but doesn't last long unfortunately.

Hi there I clean up mine by washing the car as normal then rinse off then rinse the arches again with bottle water and then use auto glym aqua wax as per instructions and it works a treat as no limescale in bottles of water or other additives give it a try for yourself that what I use and do all the time.

You can still have your ECU remapped even with the anti tamper, the ECU has to be removed and written to directly any reputable remap company can do this, mine was exactly the same.
