This might seem strange but has anyone else noticed small white spots on the black plastic panels and seats ?
I've had my 4 stored in a carcoon over the winter and finally got round to getting it out yesterday. All over the seats and black panels are small white spots similar to the effect of efflorescence or release of salt from brickwork. On the panels when I clean them off there are what looks like very small bumps or blisters left behind ?
Has anyone else noticed this ?

Likely calcium deposits from water spots, carcoon dried the air, moisture goes, calcium remains as a crust. But hard to be 100% without seeing.
Matt plastics retain the deposits more than gloss, same as grease and other stuff
Used a water spot remover like Gtechniq W9 (https://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/gte ... gIi-_D_BwE)
Or if really bad, Kamikaze Collection Heavy Water Spot Remove no8 ( https://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/kam ... gIfS_D_BwE)
If it’s not bad at all a good wash will sort it

Thanks "mynamesnotbob" and "Luckky".
It was so bloody cold when I went out for a drive when I got back I put it away again in the Carcoon till it's either a bit warmer or I man up.
I'll open it up when I get a chance and take a couple of photos
