Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Can't help with the products, but stay away from automatic car washes in future.

    I never used auto car washes on my car. I always clean it myself with mitts and car shampoo.

    To remove them, you'll need a machine polisher - it can't be done by hand.

    Example of starter machine kit - http://www.detailer.ie/catalog/index.php/detailing-kits/kestrel-das6-starter-kit.html

    However, if your budget doesn't stretch that far, you can choose to hide them using a glaze. The likes of this kit (dark color - light color) has eveything you need to take car of temporarily hiding them. Should result in much improved surface gloss too.

    I got an RAC machine polisher which cost around 50 euro, off a friend, he used only once ever. I havent used it yet so I should give that a go.

    I've also got scratch remover paste and T-cut colour restorer which ive used on the car and they are ok but do not get rid of the scratches totally.

    In case you didn't get the instructions with that RAC polisher - don't put any pressure on it, just let it 'float'.

    Not your ornery onager

    They often make matters worse. The don't generate the heat needed to break down the abrasives in the polish, so they usually make more marring then they take away.
