Hi Guys. I am on my third set now. I had a Turbo first and they had to be changed. I'm now on my 2nd set on my GTS (2yrs old) and I noticed today when I cleaned them they are also starting to show the dreaded rash... Not good at all.

Every time I go in I get grilled on they type of harsh cleaning products I must be using. Last time i pointed out it had only been washed by me once since the last ones were replaced.

Somewhere in this thread I posted that the second set I had pitted on the first tank of fuel, i.e. within 300 or so miles. The current Cayman tips are no better and are badly marked with only 3k miles on the clock. It's pretty poor.

Could this be down to what fuel people are using? Forgive me if this has been covered earlier in the post.

Maybe I'm not looking closely enough, but the black tips on my Carrera T look ok too, after over 13k miles...

Feedback from my service manager....”yeah, there’s lots of comments about this....but no, they’ve not modified the coating so there’s no point in changing them...”
