Just bought some of that meguirs clay and gave it a quick whirl on a small bit of the roof. On close inpsection of said bit there are small imperfections (like little patches - looks like a stain) which can only be seen from a certain angle. Any ideas what they are and how to get them out?

I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

Being slighty sad but do you guys all meet up?

Guys, My car is permaguarded, thanks to Duffer987 and I continued this trend last year with the annual top up. I'm now unsure as to whether or not to continue.. I went to the local Lotus specialist today , seeking a quote to tidy up the bodywork and remedy the result of my front bumper...
