My Ride: All on order and should be here by 28th September 2007
Good afternoon
The B Pillars on my M Sport have lost the deep black look. It seems as if there is some water residue on the pillars, but whatever I use to clean them does not work. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a product i can buy in the UK that will restore them?

I found the Meg's Cleaner Wax does the trick ......you have to make sure these pillars are dried everytime you wash the car to avoid this..................

The trouble is it looks like water staining, but I have tried various products to remove it to no avail. Even a good quality wax makes no difference.

Menzerna PO85rd on a white pad should do the trick, even on a random orbital it would do some good.
Be sure to wipe with IPA, then seal/wax it afterwards.

Are the pillars painted black or are they black plastic?

I have not managed to get to a store to get a paint cleaner, but I have tried removing the stains with a fairly decent wax and it has made it look a little better. I will try again at the weekend.
