Hi together,
I know this problem got addressed on some Facebook groups. I’m on an off-road trip in Italy and used the local car wash. Seconds after I used the foam, the color of the anodized parts changed. Is this very common and does somebody have a short term and permanent fix?
Thanks

Thx Krabby, would be interesting to hear the official Ineos reply for this problem since I think it’s quite critical and not really addressed in the manual.

This was the "fix" for the OP on the FB page:

They probably use TFR (traffic film remover Jean) it can wreck Tesla trim and aluminium parts if not washed off be careful mild detergent is best and its always easier to keep a clean car clean.
