I was trying every product I have in the garage last week

& came across a bottle of Methylated spirits.

I usually use this for cleaning before I spray a small item.

Anyway, I tried it on one small section near the engine cover

& rignt of the engine cover.

With very little rubbing, the dots disappeared but dulled the paint a little but a good polish brought the shine back.

Did it on the entire boot

& engine cover
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
& the dots have all but faded.

Tried it on the bonnet
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
& it made very little difference.

I borrowed a buffer

& polished the bonnet
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
& it improved it a little but the fading seems deeper here.

Will try a wax that sheets.

Normally don't leave it out in the rain but was on a classic car run
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
& it was parked outside for a while when we stopped for lunch.

Couldn't avoid that.

Not sure what the methylated spirits does but definitely improved the rear of the car.

Thanks for the help,
