Woke up to my car covered in dust/muck?

[ctdctd]

Him next door has two cars - both dusty last night so he cleaned them this morning.

It's already back.

Co Down. Z4 is plastered in it.

What's the best way to get rid of this then? Surely it's going to be fairly abrasive and I'm currently banned from using a hosepipe, so a bucket and sponge might sod it up.

I might drive to Sainsbury's with a bucket of warm water and shampoo, another rinsing bucket of water, use the jet wash once, wash the car, then jet wash it again properly?

I've never seen dust on my car all year due to the friggin rain.

Step one has to be a jetwash. Just get the cheapest £1.49 jetwash at the petrol station then go home and give it the bucket(s) and sponge treatment.

Whatever anyone does don't just try and wash it off with a sponge. You might as well use a Brillo pad.

Washed mine last night, it was bloody spotless!

Me too. I cleaned mine with a waterless wash yesterday and saw the water on the car this morning and it wasn't beading very well, thought the waterless cleaner had fked up the surface, when I got outside I realised why it wasn't beading, covered in ste!

Worcestershire BTW.

I'm driving to Manchester from Sussex tomorrow and back again. Prolly wait until that's done before waving the jet wash about. Good thinking Justin old fruity.

You mean I shouldn't have got the quick detailing spray onto it and polished it in?

[V8A*ndy]

I just snow foamed mine and let it dwell then hosed it off.

Seemed to do the trick.

Dusty cack on my car in Surrey - Why is it always after you've just cleaned the bleedin' thing?

[Tuvra]

You can bet your bottom dollar some fking idiots will have done exactly that. There's a great thread which periodically gets linked to in which some Nobel laureate wrecks his Lambo by attempting the worst ever home valet job.

Same here this morning in Newcastle.

My car had some on it this morning but the monsoon seems to have washed most of it away

[V88Dicky]

My car's too mucky to notice. The rain storm we've just had should have cleaned it off anyways.

[Hudson]

Bloody sand, coming over here, takin' our jobs and dusting our cars.

Mine's covered but it hasn't been cleaned in ages anyway

[HaylingJag]
