Does it really come down to how easy they are to clean? Surely they are the same material as the chin spoiler, lower side skirt etc?

The chin spoiler and rear number plate surround in black "plastic" standard finish are relatively easy to clean.

The side blades have a raised dots finish in the black marerial and they are a bugger to keep clean, especially if you live in a rural area with mucky roads.

The painted blades and painted rear valance are so much better for easy cleaning and appearance.

I have standard sideblades and have never found them a problem to keep clean, despite living in rural areas. Usually I have simply cleaned then in the same way as bodywork - jetwash/snowfoam followed by shampoo with washmit,rising with jetwash and then drying with microfibre. Only once, quite recently, have I used a soft brush on them to remove some stubborn mud/dirt.

If you are really into cleaning cars, there are far more difficult bits to clean than the standard sideblades!

I echo Guy’s comments.

The standard sideblades on my SD were not a problem to clean, not as easy as painted panels but not to bad.

Actually the worst area to clean is the lower panels immediately to the rear of each rear wheel.

By contrast the painted sideblades on my Turbo are just as easy to clean as the adjacent panels.

Have to say my carbon side blades are a delight to clean and look great against Rhodium Silver but can't say if they're worth the extra money vs standard or painted. But I love them :D
