door handles have gone mottled

[billabong]

Has anyone else noticed that the door handles on their Clios (if the handles are black plastic) have gone mottled. My cars only 4months old and ive noticed this, its like the colour is coming out of them. Ive taken a picture of it but you cant see it very well, you can sort of see it if you look VERY closely.

Has anyone else had a problem like this? Did the dealership replace the handles?

I havent got enough money at the mo! Id like to tho and the rest of the grey bits, but in the mean time do you guys think I should go back to the deale, again, and get them to fix this?

have u used back to black on them ???



if so that could be the reason, get some baby oil, or some meguairs black detailer and give em a good scrub.

I did use b2b on them but I have since scrubbed them when I was cleaning the car and also used Autoglym bumper and trim restorer which hasnt made any difference

Iwant to find out what they use at Renault for valeting cause the trim was smack on when brought!! Lost some new like finish on parts.

I was just going to buy Autoglm for bumper care but ill wait till others tell me wats best

I was wondering what they use as well soapsuds, the car is booked in on Saturday to have the tracking sorted and the drivers door fixed and I will ask them about the handles then, I will update this post with what they say.

if u go for the Auto Glym then get the Bumper Care and not the other one

the trim on clios is quite poor, ive noticed that.

i got my car colour coded, but left the handles.

I use this black wax stuff, seems to keep them pretty black/shiny

Mine have faded quite a bit and got a bit mottled. mine is two years old. i had to replace a door handle and you can see the difference in the shades of black! got my name on a list for some cheap, ready painted handles (same colour), from the scrappy, just got to wait for someone to crash a black 172 that is all!! lol
