That will scrub off nicely with a bucket of hot water and a hawthorn brush. Wink

Shocked Blimey. That's quite impressive.

It doesn't show so bad on silver, but mine has a rash down each side.

Did that with my previous car's but the Disco gets washed every 2 weeks now...doesn't bother me as much to see it dirty. I do have to do the job myself though so that I am aware of every new blemish so that I can treat it - and I enjoy washing it anyway. 8) Range Rover Evoque Dynamic Si4 Coupe Lux in Orkney Grey
