Car looks great! Do you have any problem with your black roof rails showing etching or discoloration after washing or even rain? I do, and the only way to get it out is to wax the rails. However, that remedy only lasts until the rails get wet again. I do not have that issue with any of the other black parts on the car. I asked my dealer about it and they said that just happens with black aluminum roof rails, which I am not buying.

Yep - I find that if the water dries too quickly you get the salt/sodium deposits leaving a white mark. The car was ceramic coated, so I find that wiping them with a damp microfibre cloth returns them to black. I haven't noticed too much of an issue with rain though, there again it has been very hot in the U since I got the car, so once we get to the winter they might change. On my previous Macan with black roof rails, it was a constant issue so I made sure that these were coated.....time will tell.

I do not have ceramic coating on them. I need to do that.

Would recommend it, normally my detailer would do it but the OPC did it for me. They also applied a 5 yr coating, normally I would have gone for 2 yrs but this one appears very good.
