On the roof of my nova there is what looks like little flecks or rust on the surface of the paint. It looks like it is on the surface due to the paint not bubbling. They are only very small flecks about the size of a pin head. How can i remove this?
All help appreciated.

I did the exact same thing when I flushed my tailgate, I was out there using my angle grinder not realising how many metal bits were sitting on my roof. as usual it pis.sed down and the went rusty !!!!

I had been putting off T-cutting the Mota for ages but I had to do it then.

A mate of mine needed a new windscreen 'cos he'd been fitting new inner wings and front panel, not noticing the grindings on the window. It felt like sand-paper, and needless to say, it didn't pass the MOT!

The look on the MOT man's face was a picture :D
