The Fallout story



  850 T5. mmmm Turbo!
This is a long story so ill try and keep it short.

at work we have installed some new kit to our main chimney, it takes sulphur out of the emissions we usually send to Sweden and Denmark. Unfortunately this kit makes the air flow go through a limestone sludge which makes the air flow wet and now the air isn’t going to Sweden its falling as white spots on my car.

these appear to wash off but its a pain washing your car every night.
so as you can imagine theres some unhappy people at work.
so we have been in talks and yesterday a leading expert in his field came to inspect out cars.
he turned out to be a chap from Mercedes in Lincoln, who was a paint specialist in the accident and repair dept.

i cleaned my car (black ) as best i could and in the bright sunlight he couldn’t see any marks in my paint from the fallout, so has said he doesn’t think the fallout is causing any damage. which will hamper a few of the £3000+ claims for re-sprays on 4 of 8 jaguars in our car park.

a bit gutted with the result i made a video of my car showing the marks and they are basically just saying what the expert says.

so heres the pics of my paint after t-cut.

they are obvious, the lower light levels the easier they are to see, and even more so when wet.

check the video below to see what i mean.

obviously these marks on there, they dont wash/ polish out. i have tried most things i have seen on here, but i dont think any of them work.

so im sick of having a sh*tty looking car.

my questions are , do i need a respray or will a polisher fetch these out.

Can't view the video, but in the picture it looks like etching that people get from acid rain. I would think an agressive machine polish would take them out, all depends how deep they have etched as to how much clearcoat would need to be removed to sort it.
