    I've found something 🙂

    Went into local hardware to have a look. I need some window cleaner anyway.
    Found nothing under motoring but standard window cleaner had Astonish which is a good doer on the carpet cleaner.

    Spray, rub with paper towel and repeated. Then use the screen washer. 
    It got 95%off and now I can see where I'm going.

    This didn't work with other products.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    Definitely NOT wire wool.


    Well you see that is where you are just plain wrong.  Go and try it before you post.

    I wasn't talking about Brillo pads, just washing up scourers. Some are sold as non-scratch, therefore others must be liable to scratch.

    NEVER EVER WIRE WOOL

    You can buw Plastic Scubbers -Lots of hot soapy water and the pan scrub if really bad. I keep a bucket at the bottom of the drive where I park and give the windscreen wash with a sponge when I go out or come back.

    Daughters car had those black spots from parking under a tree and I bought some of the cheap blue clay
    from Amazon that they advertise for car detailing.

    She was washing her car and I got a small cap of the car shampoo to wet the clay and it removed the spots
    easily.

    I had some expensive clay but did not want to waste it removing so many black spots and surprised how
    easily the cheap stuff removed them.

    Looks like tar… you can buy a specific tar remover at car accessory shops

    Try WD40 - it dissolves most resins
