Title: heat marks on the bonnet,
Post by: sharki786 on 01 September 2009, 20:41

hi all,

just a little query, i have heat marks on the bonnet caused from the engine heat, what is the best way of getting rid of this? i will post pics later as its too dark to take a pic now, i visited halford and the guy there said to use Autoglym Paint Renovator that might help, before i start wasting money i would like to hear some "pro" advice.

Thanks to all who help out.

Sharki  :wink:

its hard to tell... it might polish out.. it looks to me like there has been a rain shower/night dew and then the engine has heated up all the water and evaporated it and just left water marks behind..
