Had the exact same spots on my silver Disco3 seems to be more obvious on silver. Clay bar works a treat.

Well my plan was just to do a bit to see if it would come off and the book it in with a detailer as I thought a clay bar would of been the best bet but its good enough for now, are clay bars difficult to use, is it easy to damage the paintwork? |

Try clay bar next time, it's perfect for getting contaminants off the paintwork. |

Once you use sufficient lubricant you will be fine. Some quick detailing spray would be best but i have seen water mixed with a small bit of washing up liquid and used through a spray gun. I used clay bar on mine to remove the spots and it works. The only thing is you will need to wash and polish car afterwards as this will remove wax etc from paint. Also with the autoglym being a polish it doesnt offer any real term protection so if after polishing best results are acheived by applying one or two layers of wax to ensure protection etc. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Yes I found the rear doors and bootlid had suffered the worst, I think a clay bar would of been the best bet but a microfibres cloth and some autoglym has got rid of 95% of it |

Good wax that I use and highly rated and cheap would be "colinite 476S" there are many types but this gets rave reviews. Just make sure you use only on one panel at a time as can be difficult to remove if left on too long. They do a liquid version 2 which can be easier to work with.
