Tomorrow was going to my chance to finish cleaning my car, now it looks like it'll be pissing rain.
I might just get the rain gear out at this stage...

I've also got to respray the wiper arms, I might just do that instead.

Got a parking ticket today, hands up, deserved it, I never put money in the machine for 5 minutes or less, got caught out today.

Got it at 15.36, went straight in at 15.55 to pay it, it hadn't even shown up on the system yet, your wan thought it was quite funny. Thought i'd get off, no such luck.

It was probably the ridiculously clean 7-Series that caught their attention...

Wednesday onwards is supposed to be good weather-wise, at least I hope so because I want to get correcting again

I might have to get in on this correcting business, my girlfriend told me today that her brother use to wash the car with a sponge every other week and she never saw him put a hose near it.
Might be a lost cause but I'm going to try get it to sparkle!

A good D/A will bring it right back up. I haven't used any of those paint restoration or "colour back" products so I can't comment on them.

With regard to the bird crap, tar remover followed by APC will get rid of it. Be aware though, since the paintis faded it obviously has no protective layer of wax on it, the sh!te will leave a mark and since it's dried, more than likely etching from the alkaline.

Petrol?

Autoglym super resin polish turned a pinkish prelude I bought redagain, a wax on top is required and it won't last too many months either, cheap and easy though.

Yeah the faded side of the car(other side is fine) is gone completely matt so I recon its gonna need a lot of work...if its salvageable at all as when I say pink...its actually gone almost white in places.

Thats the side that has most of the sh1te too.

Could you "post a picture of your faded car here"? Id say it's either an Alfa or a Nissan Almera/Primera?

Cian - since it's silver you won't notice that much difference when it's corrected. With a black/red/dark coloured car it's very noticable because the swirl marks make the paint cloudy and whiteish.

With that said, corrected paintwork is a LOT easier to wash, dry, apply wax to, buff it off etc.
