noticed the spots after i gave the car a nice wash but made a mistake when i washed it on windy day, probably dried that part up before i had the chance to dry with my towel. Applied ceramic a month ago, spots happened after that which is weird, and have been unable to remove them.  Used compound by hand and waxed the area again, they seemed to disappear on the day but today under different lightning there they were those little f***ers.  It's only in a small area, i'm talking 10 spots in total but i'd like to get rid off.  I'm not in favor of trying out too many restoring products in fear of messing my paint.   

Any pro ideas would be most welcome

Mine hit the 5 year old point in Oct 25. I've had the extended warranty cover since it turned over 3 years in 2023. Managed to get another 2 years cover but VW wont extend it after that. Turns out approx. £31 per month which includes yearly service, MOT and Breakdown cover. Just coming  up to 40K soon.
As for the coolant, some good advice from the Forum members as always.
Admittedly I've always been somewhat OCD with oil and filter changes, gearbox oil change and I am about to get the coolant flushed and changed this week too. Quoted £200 at a VW dealer which isn't too bad.
If something does go wrong, at least VW cant say I've neglected anything!
Hope your issue gets resolved.

Goodyear Vector are a great all season tyre as an alternative to the Michelin, very good in the rain and ice.

Michelin cross climate have been a great all season tyre that I've used on my second set. As mentioned by Big Col the rainsports are a summer tyre so won't be much good when the temperature drops. All Season tyres are what you need.
