spots

It's washed the car at home where we have pretty hard water with lots of deposits and now what should be a lovely clean car is covered in water spots all over, thousands of them. Is white vinegar still the cheapest and easiest way to remove these as they seem pretty stubborn to move.? Will...

Washing the wife's little fiesta this morning I came across a couple of what I think are rust spots. Car 6 years old now not sure how long the warranty is with fords. If it's not covered how best to stop it from getting any worse and spreading under the paint. And this one is underneath the...

Been detailing my partner's SLK and I am struggling to get millions of tiny black dots off one of the alloys. I have tried T-cut and tar remover to no avail. I'm pretty sure they aren't iron as we had the same black spots on a previous car and Iron-X did nothing. Any ideas what would shift them?

Hi guys, I have a Merc. CL500 (2013MY, 2014 registered) with climate comfort windscreen (the one that has a slight purple tint to it), and I had tried a friend's road angel for a couple of days, and..... it doesn't get a signal at all. Upon some investigation, it transpires that the infrared...

I am often in the Lake District, having a place centrally in the Ambleside area that I let out part of to holiday makers. I've only been driving three years and enjoy the freedom driving gives me. What does take some of the enjoyment out of it is when I'm heading to Ullswater from the...

I spent an unsuccessful 30 minutes trying to get tar spots off the roof of my car with AutoGlyms Intensive Tar Remover after reading good reviews about it. I'm not knocking the stuff but I think most tar spots are only a car for a few weeks if that before they are removed. Now my car was...

Evening All I have recently considered getting round to getting some minor cosmetic work done on my E320 coupe. In typical W124 fashion the front wings have slight bubbling on the leading edge a little rust blister above nearside door cladding. The car is finished in Azurite blue. The car...

Hi all I was just having a general look around underneath my car when over at a friend who has a lift. I noticed a few spots of rust on my brake pipe in one location, nothing major but would like to prevent any more. Is the best option to sand down the rust spots lightly and cover in grease or...

So it's only been 1 month and already my car is covered in tar spots!!! I've just been out to clean my car (which was a very cold and icy experience) and when drying off noticed them. It's so depressing as I am pretty sure the only sure fire way of getting rid is to clay the suckers. Wouldn't...

Is this engine gunk, or is this actually metal that has corroded? I'll assume it's like this all along both shafts. Is this normal for car with 150,000 miles? or is it because it was poorly taken care of? I have to admit, that I did go for almost 9,000 miles without an oil change the last time...
