Replying to: poncho167 (May 21, 2009 3:03 pm) Just came back from the dealer.      They checked everything with a special light to see if the antifreeze was leaking from somewhere. Everything is o.k.   They said that probably there was air that got in the system when they replaced the head and valve gasket and they went up in my recovery tank and that's how the antifreeze's level went down. They toped off the coolant to it's full level.   For the color change...they told me that it's probably dirt coming from the system that went in my antifreeze.   Now for the white, milky substance... it's formed by a dirt ring on my plastic recovery tank as my level was lowering slowly and with the movement it mixed with the antifreeze and settled on the side of the tank.      They recommended me to do a "cooling system flush and cleaning" in the future but that it was not urgent.
#131 of 133 Paint spots by laserblue May 23, 2009 (3:23 pm)
I was cleaning my car today and I noticed that someone drove over a freshly painted white line with the truck. Result...my inner fenders (black plastic) are spotted all around with dry white paint splashed by the tires. I tried to remove the paint with soap, spot remover, soap pad, gasoline, paint thinner nothing worked. One of those products has made my plastic fade, good thing I tried them on a spot that doesn't show to much. Can someone suggest me something or has tried something with success to remove paint spots on plastic without damaging it?

Replying to: laserblue (May 23, 2009 3:23 pm) Just an idea. Why not use flat black plastic paint to hide white spots?

Replying to: laserblue (May 23, 2009 3:23 pm) Goof Off may work. I would try it on an inner fender area first to see if it melts the plastic but I think it will work. I have used it many times while painting and otherwise.
