Good grief, I'd be less worried about the car, and more concerned about what the sunscreen was doing to my kids skin.

Its not only Vw group cars it affects. You are right, chemicals used today in products we trust. And dont know the damage they are doing, food for thought.

I thought this was common knowledge? It damages paint on all cars not just VW - I dont use suncream anyway - don't get burnt so.....

Ive seen cars with fingerprints on them caused by it!

Never herd of it to be honest. Just goes to show how easy lacquer can be damaged.

Its certainly true that its more of an issue on newer cars simply because they have more delicate paint.

Some people still don't think leaving bird poo on their car for 6 months will have any effect LOL

I always carry some spray for bird stuff and a couple of microfibres.

Im not that keen - my car usually has a couple of layers of wax on it anyway but I usually get rid of it with some warm water.
