My M24 series was purchased one year ago in June 2025. The boat is on a lift under cover in our private slip. The boat is covered with factory cover in non-use seasons. As recommended by dealer, we have used dawn detergent and water only for boat washes, zero retail cleaners has been introduced as a cleaner. As noticed in the attached pics, the rear molded plastic panel on the starboard side appears to be turning chalky and fading as the port side has not changed, still has a somewhat satin finish. I’ve went back to purchase day pics and there is a difference but is becoming magnified as time goes on. Has anyone experienced this with the new M24 series? I do not want to add any UV protectants, I think this is a material issue from the factory because you can see the diffidence in the top panel to the lower panel on the same starboard side.
