Had a dust storm last night and woke up to my black camaro having dirt and sand spots soaked into my paint. I live at apartments so It was sitting outside and I had have no water hose here I ended up having to go to a do it yourself carwash. I didn't want to go through that machine because I am pretty sure it would have just smothered the sand on my paint.

.

Anyone else get hit by the storm and have to rewash your car?

Don't have pics but it looked like this one. http://imgur.com/Mr7OWJt

No, I have a garage kept car.
Storm was pretty bad up here too.

Lmao my step mom asked to open the garage so she could walk through and not have to park so far from the door so she could avoid the dust..

NOPE NOPE NOPE

Treat black like gold!!! So take it to the self serve carwash rinse it and don't use the brush cause I will scratch it!!! Use the soap brush and scrub it with a extra soft cloth and u won't have swirls... Look just like new

Yeah mine had to sit out in it overnight while I worked. Just got him all cleaned up two days ago too.

lol, I got hit since I was out last night or else it would have been safe in the garage.

Between dirt storms and earthquakes, it's been a roller-coaster ride. When the dust hit our home during the afternoon, sun was blotted out and it was after sunset dark.

Since our two car garage is filled with kitchen cabinets and appliances, the Camaro was out in the driveway, fortunately, the house blocked out the driven dirt.

I'm solving this problem by wrapping my black car either matte metallic purple or olive drab like my old C6.

no dust issues here, it stays in a garage. However the damn rain wets the garage door and when some mysterious person in my house opens the wet garage door, I get brown raindroplets that seep through the cracks and drop on my trunk and dry.!

Where are you getting this done at?
And, of course, what are you paying?
