Mmmm, salty!
Did you find the nearest fresh water supply to rinse it off!?
I think she needs a little more than fresh water... Fly anyone?

Whereabouts were you? I work there and although I was off today I nipped into town in the van to get some bits from Halfords. Rather nice T6 in the carpark there, reg spelt something like "JACCO" (can't remember exactly), anyone here?View attachment 22396
Went to Doncaster today.
Last time I went I got a car park ding. Not taking any chances today.
Direct lines call center at The MERE in their car park. We are installing a new evacuation gate (exit).
Hence the barriers, worst parkers I've ever seen but most of the staff are teenagers and dare I say it, Women. (Awaits backlash from female members).
Bloody hell. I thought mine was bad.
@Tourershine What is the best thing to get dead flies off the paintwork ?
A Brillo pad if they are baked on.
A good old snow foaming, pressure washer and polish should do the job.
I don't know about the best thing because if something dissolved the mess of fly splatter, i'd be concerned on how strong that product was, so for me, I just make sure the fronts soaking wet for a few mins, then squeeze out my hot soapy water off my mitt, and after a couple of mins a good blast with the Karcher works for me.
As with everything, if you want to treat your paint right, then it's elbow grease rather than harsh chemicals in my opinion.
For now, they will have to stay there, because i've only just got home from 2 days working in Scotland, and I need a beer

Or you could just follow Davey's first bit of advice and keep your local detailers in business
Oh how you’ve changed @Tourershine. Twas only last week you were saying how your van has to be cleaned at the end of every day. Those standards have slipped. Glad I don’t have a caravan that needs cleaning.I don't know about the best thing because if something dissolved the mess of fly splatter, i'd be concerned on how strong that product was, so for me, I just make sure the fronts soaking wet for a few mins, then squeeze out my hot soapy water off my mitt, and after a couple of mins a good blast with the Karcher works for me.

Tut tut, shameful.
One of my favourite places - love it there - wish you could (legally!) camp over there!! My sister lives a few miles north of there towards Berwick at Cheswick Sands (right turning off the A1 just before the Island View Hotel) - must try and get back up to visit soon
My folks live up this way....... as said in previous posts.... this coastline is fabulous!
Tynemouth all the way to North Berwick .....wow!
If you don't fancy the coastline but prefer the hills ..then head to Simonside (lower range) or up to the
Cheviots (higher).
If you don't fancy the coast or the hills then head to Keilder Water (like Rutland but more forest!) ...fab night sky if you're into gazing at the
sky at night after a few beers!!
My van gets cleaned at the end of every quarter. Thats why I want ceramic coating. I hear the rain washes so in the UK that will be most days.

I knew the second I clicked 'post reply' someone would jump on my back, but did I think it would be you? ?
Try Autoglym Fast Glass - but you'll need to put a coat of wax/sealant on afterwards.
Just here to keep folk like you in check, and hold you to account for previous comments made.I knew the second I clicked 'post reply' someone would jump on my back, but did I think it would be you? ?

I'm honoured a man of your status holds my previous comments so close to his heart.
Well you clearly know what you are on about when it comes to rubbing your beloved daily, so why would I not pay attention? Oh yeah and I have a memory like an elephant, I remember the most pointless info, namely full dialogue from Red Dwarf.
LOL
You and my wife would get on so well.
She does that thing where she says a nice thing, swiftly followed by a not so nice thing.
