The toothpaste I mention above might be appropriate in this case. Its available in a range of abrasiveness, inexpensive, and you might be able to think of a use for the leftovers...

Why do I get the impression that some here aren't worried about such things as they either believe they won't fall into that affected group or that they won't be in a position to care anyway as the won't be driving any more, for one reason or another......
Sad to see the new Toyota Prius is not coming to the UK. It looks superb. I know there are good reasons why it is not coming over here but it is a shame they have dangled this stunning looking car in front of us only to make it ultimately out of reach. Read more
Ireland, despite being so close to the UK, has different car tastes. They’re big into Toyota - it would not be far off to say that every other car on the road there is a Toyota.
They also prefer saloons as opposed to hatchbacks. Cars are dearer in Ireland and many Irish buy from the UK.
Off on a jaunt to Copenhagen in september.

I last drove in Denmark in the 1980's so my experiences will be out of date (and the Oresund bridge was just a dream). But the mermaid, in 2018 we stopped off in Copenhagen on a cruise, really big (or should I say little) let down, all the hype for a statue so small.
There is a new undersea connection across the Femern Belt to Germany under construction, a road and rail tunnel - it will be interesting once finished. (see B1M on YouTube)...
Recently there have been quite a few emails send to the Mod account regarding threads and quite forceful comments on both sides of the fence. This has inevitably taken up a lot of moderating time, too much really.

So following on from an earlier post stating petrol smell but no sign of leakage, it definitely is leaking!. Must only be when above a certain level because I filled up today and had a look under the back when I got home. There is a visible drip every 4-5 seconds, which is not great but does go some way towards explaining why it seems to be thirstier than I'd expected!
I have three options.... Read more
PS Clean and protect the rest of the fuel line while you're at it.

How can I tell if a current-gen RAV4 has had a towbar fitted and removed? Will there be holes or marks somewhere? Has anyone got a pciture of how the towbar fits to the car? Read more
Looks like the tow bar takes the place of the rear strengthening beam . So if you remove the bumper and all the plastic rear trims , there should be evidence of the nuts and bolts being disturbed.
There’s more to life than worrying about carbon footprint John!
Indeed so. Annual trip to California looms and the W12 needs another tankful.....
But surely, billions aspiring to such a personal automotive high mileage American lifestyle is not good for the planet......
I plan on taking the local authority to small claims court for rejecting my claim against them for a pothole that caused a little under £400 of damage to my car. The pothole was reported to them 18 months before the accident. The council quietly removed this report from the website after they rejected my claim but I have a screenshot of the report. They said the pothole was not considered dangerous and it's impact was graded as "negligble" despite dsshcam evidence showing my car entering the hole. I'm not here to discuss the specifics of the case though happy to if asked, buts it's been raised on another forum that I should have told my insurer? Apparently it's classed as an accident and any accident you have to report. I did not know this as I did not believe it to be an accident, if I called my insurance every time my car went over a pothole (plenty of them about) their phone would never stop ringing.

If there was damage then to me that's classed as an accident - hitting a pot hole day to day is just on of those things so if no damage then no accident. But in this case I'd call it an accident - although not sure if you have to report it to the insurance company.
