Pikes Peak owners needed
Just wondering if anyone has noticed any discoloration on the top of the front bumper where the hood and bumper meet? I have noticed some yellowish discoloration. I am assuming it's from the rubber seal around the hood where it lays on the bumper. It is only visible if you raise the hood but IMO it should not be happening.

I definately have that discoloration you are talking about...looks nasty. I have assumed that i could rub it out with some compound since it isn't visible with the hood open. Havn't tried yet though. Just looked at it tonight when I cleaned my car. I'll try rubbing it out tomorrow.

I've had my PPW Roadster about two months & noticed yellowing near the sill plates on the plastic when you open the doors. It doesn't come out. I went over the entire body (external)with Maguire's three stage (cleaner, polish, and wax) and followed it up with Crystal Guard & have had no problems on those areas.
The combination of the Maguires & the Crystal Guard seems to have really brought out the metal flake, looks great in the sun.

unfortunately the yellow stains didn't come out. Luckily they're in a place that can't be seen, unless you're really looking for them.
The CG really enhanced the Maguires stage 2&3. When I used it by itself, I didn't see a whole lot of improvement. I just applied it myself. If you get it, definitely follw the directions exactly!...I screwed up on one application of it & it streaked the paint pretty bad! If that happens, just rinse the car & use a clean chamois to dry it.
