respray is the only way mate.

poo s**t! thanks anyway mate

 

[jimbo666]

depends how bad they are mate. if they are few and far between, you could try wet sanding.

As above all depends on how many there are.

If is deep enough for polish to get stuck then a respray would be the best option.

Got any close up pics?

a respray costs too much, just get chips away to do it, or halfords have a new service that will get rid of them in the same way chips away do

Why not clay it. The majority of that might be tar and other grime.

 

[Rich]

Look like lots of tiny chips to me, clay wont sort that to be honest. Best of getting it painted IMO.

Your rad looks a bit battered too in the bottom pic - plenty of good use then!
