Watermarks off the paint


Badger Bill

Recommended Posts

OK, a right girlie request coming up, my little smoker has managed to pick up some nasty looking water marks on the bonnet where water has stood and the sun has shone through the puddles, leaving marks. Is there something that I can do to remove them without getting physical on it? I don't want to use T-Cut, as this seems a little too harsh, I was thinking more along the lines of Mer, or a good low abrasive polishing product, etc.

 

Any advice appreciated. I really don't mind putting a bit of effort into doing it, but I can't seem to find a solution without going to an expemsive detailers and this really is not an option either.

 

Cheers

PS I've tried a good colour restore and although it is better, it is by no means near what I want as an end product.

Alternatively, try Meguiar's Paint Cleaner (From Halfords - here) - it's part of a 3-step process (the other two being polish and wax, in that order) but as long as you protect the paintwork after you've used the cleaner with your favourite wax, you'll find that this stuff does the trick without being abrasive or indeed, chalky. I've used all 3 parts extensively and always been more than happy.

Try 'hob bright', the stuff you use on glass cooker hobs. It is very good on lots of surfaces. You probably have some in the kitchen already, but ask if you can borrow it first. Try it on an out of the way bit of paint first, better safe then sorry.

HA! *biggrin* Fella, this is a car that has done 40k miles, that I am putting over a thousand miles a month on. 😳 So I don't think that I can be accused of giving it an easy life! Up close the rear wings look like they have seen plenty of action, however there is nothing wrong with stopping a problem that exists getting worse *idea* *thumbup* *wink*

You were discussing your car until you edited your post *nono*

 

What... I polish my car 4 times a year

 

I'll get back in my box now. Just recall getting grief about my tintop at the last MADs meet!!
