Detailing / Re: water spots spotted on front hood
« Last post by candywhite12 on 15 April 2026, 20:41 »thanks all
problem is about to go away via paintwork, having the entire hood painted over at the dealers next week due to slight scratch after i bumped into the back of a Yaris
I guess that's another way to go about fixing imperfections
