bonnet stripe protection

Originally posted this in the "coupe" section due to a brain fart. Since mine is a hatch and this is where I hang out, thought I'd post it here.

I guess this is a common issue where the white bonnet stripes become yellowish/brownish. Closest dealership said I had to take it to the dealer where I bought it, but at least they replaced them. Anyway, the first dealership told me about some product that is sold in boating stores that will prolong the stripes. They said it's Ducky or Hot Sauce. Both companies sell a lot of products, from cleaner to protectant, but which one. They first seemed so sure, now the guys at the dealer are not too sure about which one.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Mike Todd

Check out the Detailing 101 in the Forums section. There should be some good info there. If I remember correctly you can get in touch with Detailers Domain (?) for more info
