Honestly, I would throw the old stuff away. I had an old bottle of super resin polish and it looked like it had split, no amount of shaking would get it back to how it should look. I'm not sure how any of the chemicals would react with a car being well past their best, might be wise to play it safe :)

Aerospace 303 is good stuff, I've liked it when I've used it in the past. I've used GTechniq glass ceramic coating on my glass (after polishing/cleaning it first, it was a kit) I swear by the stuff, it's been superb.

Actually, I did my car windows yesterday and was going to use windowlene, but I read it shouldn't be used on a windscreen because it smears when the wipers are used. So I had just enough of the AG glass polish cream and used that. Seemed ok but I've thrown all those bottles now. I went over the whole interior with my vacuum and then aerospace 303'd everywhere.
 
Sadly I have left some bird poop on my car for way too long and when I've eventually got round to giving it a proper wash there appears to be some slight damage to the paint/lacquer. What can I try to reduce/remove it?

It has likely etched the clearcoat, so the only real way to deal with it is to try to polish it out.

I assumed as much sadly, I have some AG Super Resin Polish in the garage, will that be worth a try? I also have some T-Cut but not sure if that will be too abrasive perhaps?
 
I would give the SRP a go personally, it has worked to remove etching for me previously when I thought I would have to do some machine polishing.

My RaceGlaze filter arrived today, I can't wait to get it plumbed in tomorrow and give it a whirl, probably Friday from looking at the weather report!
 
I imagine the 7l version I have should last me 12-18 months before needing new resin as I'll only be using it for the final rinse.

They are supposed to yes, I've watched quite a few videos and reviews on them now and they get a good press. I'll post results when I get chance.
 
Bought some Bilt Hamber Korrosol the other day and just used it last night. Super surprised with the results. Wheels hadn't been washed other than a spray with snowfoam and rinse for about 3 months and had a lot of crap stuck to them, was thinking I'd have to refurb them soon.

Liberal spray on all 4 wheels, left for 5 minutes and agitated with a detailing brush, and rinsed off. Couldn't be happier with the results!

@Muska , how goes a race water filter help clean your car ? what does it do ? I've never heard of it lol :D

Usually a filter with resin inside. It traps minerals etc. so when the water dries, it dries without water spots. If you rinse your car with either rainwater or tap water, and let it dry you will get a lot of deposits.
 
The point is I won't be drying the car by hand, resulting in time saved and less physical contact. It can dry naturally without leaving the car covered in water spots :)
