how do you get petrol off ??

[Big pun]

So the dickhead at the gas station spilt petrol down my car last night while filling it up & didn't tell me, I only noticed it thismorning when I got to work.
I just tryed to wash it off but you can still see it

how can I get it off? cut & polish??

really pissed me off aye, I only had it painted a few months ago.
i'll be going back there tonight to abuse him..

[trueno_20v]

Have you tried just a normal polish like turtle wax, should do it

[CaM]

clean it with a strong detergent, then re-wax that area. has prolly just stripped the wax away,

Definatly. Ever since an idiot chipped some paint off my car I fill my car up myself EVERY single time, just not worth the risk to your paintwork. Clean it off ASAP and give it a decent wax and polish, use some decent stuff if its been on overnight.

yupp. my pug's got some heinous scratching aorund the filler due to having to put the filler gun thin in upsidedown. forecourt morons just jam it hard against the panel, to stop it falling out.. c**ts

[Big pun]

yeah i'll get onto it a soon as I get home..
thats the last time I let anyone else put gas in my car thats for sure..

[blackie]

People still pump your gas for you??
man where the $&#$% do you guys live!

petrol station workers are so slack these days, i dont think ive even had someone offer to fill my tank in the last year or two, not that i really care, as i find it annoying anyway

Shells still pump gas, most stations are self service though.

The little BP's down here in wellington are generally full service....

[BlakJak]

Yeah, BP ive noticed are back into offering 'full service' in many areas, I think its all the old people and the people who simply 'dont know how'.

I was helping with RallyNZ a while back and at Mobil Warkworth it was going nuts, very busy, this woman pulls up and asks if someone will fill her car for her! When told no she _drove away_. Like, WTF?

But er, yeah, I wont let anyone but me fill my car with gas, among other things when I say 'fill it up' I mean I want it right up the neck of the gas tank, not simply till it cuts out due to backpressure.
But er, yeah, fuel spills arent permanent, a good wash will take it out, and obviously a repolish afterward.

yeah a bit of cut & polish did the trick..
still, I cant believe he spills petrol on my car & doesn't even clean it off let alone tell me he did it!
no respect aye

I used to go hang out with a mate on graveyard shift at Mobil after I finished work, and the amount of people that had no idea how to pump their own gas is pretty amazing....though I did go help some lovely younghot American girls who didnt know how to work the pumps as "They're so different to the ones we have in the states"

[CozmoNz]

Ive had quite a few people offer to fill the car up for me, they look like dickheads when i walk over, undo the petrol cap and start doing it myself ...

"So uh... your jobs to stand there?"

[XERO]

I cant let people do it for me, and they always put the cap on the roof or spoiler... Had one dude who put a deep scratch in my fx when he put it on the roof...
