    Lime scale stain on paint

    I have had the Calais parked in our apartment car park for 3 days and when I looked at the car this morning it had a white dust from the concrete roof above all over the paint. Most of it wiped off easily, with the exception of the black bits on the passenger door. This appears to have white milky stains That Won't budge. I assume it is lime scale from the concrete? Can I remove it or will it need to be done professionally?

    Rod I find Prepsol wax & grease remover is good, then on the blacked out parts use either some armoall or vaso sparingly.

    Thanks Mick, just to clarify it is the black painted bit that is stained milky white.

    Who sells prepsol?,none of the auto shops seem to stock it. Or will any wax and grease remover do the trick?

    Mate you can buy "wax & grease remover" from Bunnings, though Prepsol is a name brand sold by many auto paint suppliers or good autopart centres.
