    You don't use the M1 southbound in the mornings do you? Wife was stuck behind a white van last week who was leaking paint all over the road - and all over the front of her car :mad:

    Luckily it seems to be emulsion rather than gloss and will come off if you rub it with your finger. Think a wash at the weekend with the power hose then some T-Cut if that doesn't shift it.

    That clay bar appears to have been dropped on the ground in which case it would do a hell of a lot more damage then good.
