    Paint imperfections

    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?

    A very sad thing happened to me this evening. I pulled into Shell to get some Optimax, picked up the nozzle out of its cradle and, as I moved it towards the filler cap, the rubber hose somehow pulled out the adjacent nozzle, which crashed down on to the side of my car. Owch. It's made a very...

    Will Trophies turn pink over time?

    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...
