:bangdesk::bangdesk::bangdesk::bangdesk::bangdesk::bangdesk:

just checked
both cars covered in a fine layer of dust, as if they have been standing idle for a month unwashed and uncared, tomorrow is gonna be a long day to get that shine back.

Live on the East Rand of JHB and left the house windows open... left with a layer of dust throughout the whole house! :thumbdo:

Left the windows open and messed up the house :hammerhead:

Left the windows open and messed up the house :hammerhead:

even with the windows closed, the fine dust still penetrated thru the vents and under the doors

Thats true... All I could smell was dirt the whole night, and Im so sensitive to dust that I woke up early this morning sneezing and tight chested... decided to do a quick clean before work.

Drove through this last night, major annoyance as ALWAYS were the people with their emergency front and rear fog lamps on.... :YesNo:

Got home too late to wash the cab last night so had to tackle that job this afternoon!! Could not leave it, looked horrible!

I beat you too it
When I started closing the garage doors, locking the gates etc at 01h00 last night, I saw this red-brown hump, under which was my cars...out with the vacumm cleaner, and the soft attachment....sucked up the majority of the fine dust covering the cars, then a secondary wipe with my polish rag to restore some of the shine...finished at 02h00

needed to put in a bit of manual labour, as an over-eating season earlier the evening had elevated my blood sugar levels too high, so had to do some physical excercise to work it off before going to bed.
