Im sure it's been talked about before but has anyone any experience dealing with toyota re the carbon wrap going white?
Iv phoned my dealer and talked to a receptionist and they are ringing me on Monday as currently it's holiday time here, iv asked her to log my call as I think the car is three years old in three days.

I’d 100% say that’s due to a cleaning product.

These are vapors from the carbon underneath because they sometimes applied the film too early during production. In the beginning Toyota replaced the film under warranty, but in the meantime they have a cleaner and special cloth to remove the stains. My dealer did it, you can't see anything anymore.

Oh I'd rather that than re wrapping, it's been exposed to severe sun this last couple of months and had been ceramic coated two years ago without issue, I noticed a slight patching but then it has just erupted all over.

Let us know what the dealer advised, when you can, please.

They inspected the roof and have cleaned part of it, it seems to be coming up OK, they have gave me a cleaning agent to clean roof.

Please share - here or privately - the details of the cleaning agent in case I can find & buy the same.

autostart g101, diluted 1 part to 10 water and used a scrubbing brush, they recon it's something iv washed the car with and the sun has flashed it off and along with the semi hard water we have locally it left an ingrained white residue.
Spent a few hours today and although not perfect it's lots better.
I finished off by using Maguires hybrid ceramic wax.
