Hmm, i'm not going to bother with the clay bar / polish / wax this afternoon after work, won't have enough time to do it properley, so i'm gonna wait for some nice weather so i can do it properley.

I'm still gonna wash her with Meguiars softwash though as i have heard even the wash liquid can still bring your car up looking fantastic!

Hey guys, anyone know of a remedy for some fine scratches on the windscreen.........
took the Calais down to the local carwash for just a quick spray rinse and noticed all the bug crap on the screen,,,,switched to broom, gave it a quick scrub and then hosed off.
Noticed the next day some fine scratches.........:realangry
Must have been some bloody crap in the bristles! N0T HAPPY JAN!:ranting:

Rogues, I'm not too sure about this one. I haven't come across any product for class other than a cleaner. Initially I was thinking of a Meguiars plastx or clear plastic polish but they're really only designed to remove cloudiness in aged plastic. A cut and polish compund will be pointless as there's nothing in glass to cut back. Hmmm I don't think there's much you can do. Sorry.

Hmmmmmmm, thanks anyway Scooter, I more or less resigned myself that that was the answer I would get.............by the way, liked your input on the polishing routine in the VE thread which directed me to here.........never been here before!!
May just haveta get me one of them orbital thingo's and bring the duco up like a mirror.
My ride's only 10 months old so shouldnt be too much drama turning it into a glamour,ha,ha...........
Cheers Rogues
