Sand/Dust on the car
« on: 26 April 2017, 16:35:43 »
Anyone getting this? Washed my pair at the weekend, popped out today and covered in dust.  >:(

Looking closer, really does look like sand. No building work going on near by either.

Just got the hose out to wash it off, as cars are clean under the sand.  ;D

I know, but some brits make the mistake of liking them. Hard to understand I know, but there you have it.  :)

Yep, but we've got building work going on less than a mile away.  Usually worse when I've just cleaned the Jag.

Spot on. We get it in Southern Spain quite a lot. About a month ago the visibility was really bad. Spanish have a word for it which I learnt and now have completely forgotten. (age thing) :(
