Unfortunately my parking space is directly under trees so I have to cope with all the crap that comes off them when it rains..
I live in edinburgh and we've had heavy rain the last few days however when I came out to the car this afternoon the car was a mess.
Decided to take it to the local carwash (I don't mind them as they don't touch the car, just snow foam on and pressure wash off). Driving to the carwash I put the window washers on a few times but whatever is on the window isn't coming off. The wipers were making a scuffing sound across the glass!
Got to the carwash and the guy said they'd had cars in all day with the same problem, reckoned it might be something in the weather. I said I thought it might be sap from the trees but they said others who'd been in werent parked under trees.
Anyway, they gave it a wash but it still left most of this crap on, it's dry and rough. They thought it looked like cement dust!
They said they were going to try treat a car tomorrow so I've to contact them to see how they get on and how long it'd take/cost, I doubt I'll trust them with it though...
I haven't had my car detailed in over a year so thinking about booking it in somewhere.
Does anyone have any idea what's caused this and how best to treat it and any recommendations for detailers in edinburgh?
