Cleaning stuff off of paintwork

[Kwacker]

Due partly to the recent crap weather, and an untimely need for a bit of work, mot, and tax. The car has been off the road for the last two months.

Well.....

The garage roof has been dripping on the bonnet when it rains. It now looks like there is some limescale build up, or something else white (could be from the asbestos roof).

I'll soon be getting it ready for the road and its mot so I will want to give is a clean and polish.

Any Ideas on how to tackle the buildup?

One of these and some firm polishing should do the trick.



Or have you tried seeing if it will wash off with just water, then water + car shampoo + microfibre mitt?

Try a clay bar.

Ignoring the fillers it contains, Autoglym Super Resin Polish usually gets me out of most jams.. Although I often use Meguirs Deep Paint Cleaner first to remove any contaminents..

I usually end up with more scratches than I began with with a clay bar! The Deep paint cleaner usually gets me similar results just with a tad more effort anwayay

Clay bar for sure, try a finer grade one first, then can always use it again or a more aggressive grade.

Autoglym Fast Glass works well for getting rid of the limescale, just need to a layer of protective polish afterwards.
