Noticed the other day i have little black specs which when i run my finger over i can feel, is this tar?

Got some bug and tar from halfrauds today just didnt really do anything, bar remvoe a couple of flys.

Any ideas on how to get rid!

Also got 2 big turtle wax extreme wheel wax for £3, if get it with the nano sticker on was £5.95 and also where selling the old extreme sticker stuff for same price just had to open my eyes and there was a shelf of some celoptaped together, may never use it but for £3 lol well got it free actually 3 for 2

cheap solution... use wd40 :y:

top tip from the sayer there.

just make sure you wash it off properly otherwise when you come to use some other product it'll probably react. like i found out yesterday. my clay bar decided to melt and smear my paint work.

Try clay bar mate, failing that, wd40.
A respray would be the best option for the grille.

imo, clay bar is your best bet.

although i do believe that wd40 does work, i've yet to try it, clay has always done the trick :)

yes mate you may as well do the whole car too only takes about an hour

you can buy the megs one which has the clay and lube

give it a wash first, then clay it, wash again, dry, polish and wax :y:

I found that the poorboys waffle weave towel is far superior to the megs one, about 2x the size and feels so much softer!

The megs one started to fail on testing on a cd to see if it inflicted swrls after only a few uses and washes.

I also have some sonus der wunder drying towls on the way, will let you know what they are like.
