Has anyone seen this? It is relatively consistent all over the truck, kind of like a protective coating is wearing off. The truck is garage kept and hasn't been off road or scraped on anything (even though some of these look like scrapes). Wondering if I need to get the dealer to replace them or use some king of tai shine, although the bonnet checker plates have the same issue and they are a different material (obviously).

Have you washed/waxed the truck at all? If so, what products did you use?

Looks like wax residue. Hit it with some alcohol.

I've had it detailed a couple of times and wash it regularly (it was dirty in these pictures). I don't think the detail guy used wax, but it's a good question to ask him. Any specific product recommendations as far as alcohol?

Most defo Wax residue. Sack your detailer - he is rubbish.

We’ve got the same thing happening, especially around the windows. The IG is garaged and well cared for. No wax used here.
