That's interesting that Porsche didn't powdercoat them like the red calipers.

i have not used sonax for the wheel cleaner but road salt is definitely possible cause as I live in the Midwest and it does see winter use

i might try just the paint brush... they look awful!!

thank you everyone

Not your fault. Porsche is just going the cheap route. You can even see discoloration of your calipers which others have complained about. I guess buying a $100K base model isn't worthy of a better finish

Stop spraying harsh chemicals, not necessary. Good old soap and water will do the trick. Leave the chemicals for Nissans and Hyundais.

^^^ Affirmative. My 993 had the same problem which was delt with by the PO before I bought it by sending them off to be refinished with a higher-quality paint. 17 years later, it was about due again when I sold it.
