2003 Ford Focus - dang I've never been a Christmas present before - what a neat feeling! The car had been well taken care of with the worst problem being major water spoting around the front windshield sprayers. Owners said they could not be removed with rubbing compound. Out came the...

I uploaded a photo to the gallery, but it is missing. Instead there is a message "photo pending approval". Please tell me what has happened. Thanks
