The bloody stuff is everywhere!! Drove to work yesterday in heavy snow, got to work and the front car was covered in what i thought was just dirty snow. Looked this morning in the light and its actually masses and masses of grit and its bloody everywhere on my front bumper. Iv hosed some of it off but there is some stuck between the lights and bumper, bumper and grilles etc. Whats the best way to remove it all? Soft brush? I think a bonnet and bumper re-spray is on the cards in the new year :mad: :mad:

Do you have access to a presure washer? If not I would use the softest brush possible to carefully remove it.
Good luck.. .. :wink:

Tardis, Iron X, Wolfs or similar then pressure wash off, if you have one.
-
Not sure how a tar remover or a iron fallout remover will help with what is essentially salt.
Snowfoam and pressure wash. You may also have damage to the clearcoat.

Well its properly peppered my front splitter :sick: also got 2 massive stone chips, one on the bonnet, the other on the wing.

Anyone had a go at this?

Yes I have, but I was never comfortable with the sanding part, but should be now.
Essentially build the paint up higher than the existing panel, flat it and polish the sanding marks out and it should look a lot better.
I have loads to do on my Ed30, so I'll post my experience up when I do.
