The Dark Knight Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 On Friday evening, I thoroughly washed the car and polished for good measure. The paint was as smooth as silk and the windows crystal clear. Today though, the paint is no longer smooth because the car is coated in dust (living on a main road doesn't help). I enjoy the heatwave despite my hayfever but the relentless dust is a bit of a downside. One advantage to a spell of heavy rain is that it washes it away. Anyone else noticed this - particularly members with black cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake90087 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Mine is Dark blue and I notice it, yeah. Tree sap also since mine sits on the drive. So annoying! I hose and chamois the car every few days to keep it clean though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dah Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Same here have got black and it gets dust on it just sitting in the garage. Time for a good wash (Wife says no time as I need to mow lawns) May just sit in the sun think about it and have a cold beer?

Stewie316 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 yup mine seems to accumulate a great amount on the back rather than the front. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
