Dribbling washer nozzles!

[B325YUD]

My 230TE has been parked up for a number of years, and I finally got it cleaned up and running enough to drive it outside for the first time. The paintwork is for the most part like a 3-year-old, 20,000mile car. There are a few little chips here and there that need touching in now it might actually see some English weather, and one small patch of rust at the seam between one wing and the valance. The really annoying thing that needs addressing is some staining and paint dulling from a dribble from the driver-side washer nozzle. The original owner told me it always did this, and it annoyed him too! I'll have to try and work out what caused this (unless anyone has any ideas?), but in the mean time need to clean up the marks.

So, is a simple T-cut the answer? I don't want to do anything irreversible: the washer bottle smelt of some form of solvent - whatever was recommended back when last used in '95, presumably. You can just about see the two streaks in the paint, and also how the surrounding area has dispersed the water from washing.

A cutting polish will fix it followed by sealant or wax to protect it. If you want toi use something from Halfrauds then Autoglym Silicone Resin Polish might do it but it doesn't cut much, it's a good cleaner though. Failing that AG Paint Renovator should do it.

You could get the car machine polished by a local detailer which would bring the paint up like new and protect it too. For paint correction you'd probably pay £250-£300, for an enhancement you'd pay £150-£200.

Thanks, I was considering seeing if there was a local quality detailer who could take a look at the car.
