Top arches - what are they made of??

[Anonymous]

Sorry if this had been covered before, however can anyone confirm whether the silver top arches are made from polished alloy or stainless steel? And if the top arches have a protective lacquer on them? The reason I ask is I've discovered a scratch and need to investigate how best to remove this annoying blemish

Many thanks in advance.

They are anodised aluminimum. Not sure what they are coated with but it's not a lot. Whatever is on them is minimal.

Cheers that does help, now need to work out whether DA/rotary polishing, or using 1800 to 6000 grit wet & dry will work better to remove the grazing on the arch? :crazy:

Personally, I would go for DA. Start least aggressive and see what that does for you before wet sanding.

Once again RCZ, many thanks for the tips, fingers crossed I can rectify the marks one the car when I collected it, did mention it to them, but tbh, thought it better to utilise professional care to restore the lustre, it will all be sorted next week during a gtechniq detailing day :thumbup:
