Next door has just had their drive done. And yes, guess what, my bonnet has litle bobbly bits of cement on it i can feel under the chamois. Apart from maybe t cut or even a hot pressure wash...any ideas boys? Dont want to rub had as it may scratch?

Well the method I use for baked on bird poo is to place soaking wet (hot) kitchen roll on it for 5-10 mins to soften it before wiping away.

I've read somewhere on Google that if it's freshly done go out there now/asap and try using some white vinegar on it. the acidity should break it down, then wash the are thoroughly and wax.

Looks like its the good old household white vinegar option with copious amounts of hot water in a spray bottle. What about the stuff they use to take road grime off. is that acidic too?

Sorry for being precous but its my baby and....well you guys know.

Don't know but do it asap and give it a good wash and wax.

I'd be getting the neighbour to pay for it to be sorted out properly if it stays there after a wash!

Indeed, my brother in law had this problem with his MX5, it ended up being repainted.

Sorted! Took the car to the local bosnians, they all sprayed some degrime stuff on the bonnet, hey presto. smooth as a baby's bottom.

11 quid and shines all lush again.
