How can I return my car's paintwork?
I've just purchased a 2010 Toyata Verso. The paintwork looked good in the forecourt with a couple of patches where it seemed as if the surface shine has been rubbed off. However, after a week or so more marks are appearing, finger marks as if something on hands has taken the shine off, now it has lost its forecourt gloss. Perhaps the patches are where someone has tried to remove fingermarks. What can I do to rectify the paintwork?

Ask a valeter, and if he can't do it take it to a car paint shop. (If you want to try yourself, Meguiars does some products but you run the risk of making it worse.)

My car is left outside on a daily basis. As a result the window seals have gone green with moss growth. How can I clean this off with out damaging the bodywork?
Will using bleach or a weed killer to get rid of green moss/lichen on my paintwork? Or will it simply damage the bodywork?
I purchased a 2012 Jaguar XJ (12 plate) six weeks ago from an authorised Jaguar dealer, with about 22,500 miles on the clock. After purchase I waxed the car with Autoglym and it looked great.
