And after... used some Black Hole polish then Angel wax.

Thanks for all the advice. Bought a clay bar which has removed a good 90%... also easily removed what was on the wheels. Think I might just carefully pick off what’s left with my nails. Haven’t used a pressure washer yet so that might get the rest. This is a before pic... Cheers.

Hoping somebody can help me. I left my car with my dad while I went away on holiday as it would be “safer” there. My dad decided to paint the outside of his house while my mark 2 Fabian Monte Carlo in red/black (which I bought 6 weeks ago) was sitting in the drive. Needless to say it’s now covered in white/cream speckles. My brother noticed and took the car away to a friend who used a clay bar on a section which seems to have worked to an extent. The roof is real bad as it’s black. What’s the best course of action? My brother also suggested a machine polish but not sure if this would have to be done after the worst of the paint was removed.

The car has had 1 lady owner so doubt it will have had any mods but will be sure to check.

I bought it from a part of the CDW, think they sell the traded in cars from the Eastern Honda dealer as their office was in the Honda show room. @Skoffski

So I’m just back from the test drive and decided to purchase the car. Got a service and 6 months warranty thrown in too. Pretty sure I’ll get it mapped. Thanks for the recommendation but I’m in central Scotland. Looking at getting the car early next week after it’s had the service and valet. Appreciate your help.

Thanks.. to be honest i would rather have manual. Was only looking at the dsg as that’s what came in the vrs. I drive a 330d at the moment so was sceptical about going for the 1.2 petrol but mapping it could be a good idea!

Any thoughts on the 1.6 tdi monte carlo?

I haven’t driven one yet. Just had had a look at the Leon, bit more money in them by the looks of it but like it.

Thanks, I’ll be sure to stick to 63 plate or younger. Really Don’t want to end with an expensive ornament.

Hi, thanks for this. The car i was looking at must have been sold late Saturday as it has disappeared off the website. I am going to keep looking with your advice in mind. It seems perfect for me, needing something fairly economical for motorway driving to work but also want to be able to enjoy a drive at the weekends.

I have just booked a test drive for this car and have just stared reading reviews and am a bit concerned. The car is priced at £6400 is a 13 plate and has done 57k. As far as i know it comes with a 3 month warranty. It also mentions in the description that it is ex-rental. Should I look for something else with it being the post 2013 model should reliability be good? Really appreciate any advice.
