Washed, clayed, paint cleaned, polished and waxed ready for Brooklands, and when I get back to the yard today - the sahara seems to have descended

can you not give it a wash/dry and a spritz with the pink finish kare bubblegum smelling type stuff.

I use it between waxes and its superb, you only need a little spritz.

heres one I did at the weekend- the pic was for the exhausts but it shows the paintwork off well- hasnt been waxed since the back end of last year, just washed, towelled, spritzed and buffed.

If you've done the claying, waxing polishing etc etc right, then a gentle hose down should remove the bulk of the sand. follow that with a wash using the mitt and then something like the quick detailer and you should be ok;)

I've got to do mine on Saturday. Praying it don''t rain:rolleyes:

Lately thats how my car is most of the time, they are knocking down the old RAF/air traffic control in west drayton so get a lot of dust from there lately, but the rain usually washes it off.

But as said a gentle wash off should get rid of it and give it a dry to stop any water marks. Show car cleaning is done the day before for me, mainly this time as i'm working friday on nights, so have only got all day sat to do a good job
