Forget the car! I have severe hayfever!

Alex, how bad was it?

Bonnet was ruined. Roof 'healed' after it was rinsed off

Very very upsetting

What can we do though, apart from washing it daily?! Might have to beg my mum to use her garage this week!

Not much - just keep it clean

I suppose if you just give it a rinse everyday it should be ok, just to ensure it doesnt settle on the paintwork

Exactly. Especially if you have had any respray work done (this paint is always much softer)

Yeah I noticed the paintwork was much softer when I had my bumpers smoothed, the paint seems to chip for fun.

Least your GTI is safely tucked away Alex
