Hi, did you confirm this after a heat cycle? (When wet is transparent , when dry becomes white )

I sprayed the radiator with diluted simple green before I washed the car. I use the gold class wash as well. It looks like its gone when wet.
Comes back when dry. But, it did lighten up a bit. If yours isn't really bad maybe you can get most of it off. I see a new radiator for all in our future.
Unless Porsche has some magical solution. I don't see any other way for them to solve the stripes.

FWIW, even on my original visually perfect 981 Spyder radiator it became dirty and grey in less than a year as you drive the car, soon those streaks will be camouflaged and blend right in...

So.....I don’t have my car yet but I got the VIN today and the eleventh character is S, which I believe is Stuttgart. I’m getting a GT4 and I thought those were being built in Osnabrook, but maybe the pandemic changed things up. I wonder if there is some correlation between where your car was built and the free stripes. I should pick up my car in about three weeks but for those who have their car already maybe we can draw some conclusions. Or maybe not, I’m just bored and ready for my car to get here.
