    I'd advise everyone to do touchless washes, if you're game on washing at all....that dirt may be abraisive and bad, so if you touch it you could induce a hell of a lot of swirling!

    If you're intent of getting rid of it now like i am, just hose it off gently or give it a karcher foam bath. Just don't touch it!

    This is where a good quality wax or sealant come into play. I do a wash for a regular client this morning. Her car has Duragloss 105 on it applied about 6 months ago that is topped up with aquawax each month. All of the dust hosed off with light pressure, i didnt even need the karcher.

    Ive got nanolex on mkine. Ill get a video when i rise it to show you

    Good idea. so basically just rinse it off? Will do...

    Also, I purchased Dodo supernatural wax and will be doing it soon. I don't have a sealant, but do you think its prudent to apply a sealant first before the wax? what about applying a sealant AFTER a wax has been done?

    I added a second coat of wax to the bonnet on tuesday, should've done the whole car again.

    In saying that though, the whole car was waxed about a month ago, is garaged and washed properly, so hopefully should be fine...?

    I guess I'll find out on the weekend.

    The dust is so fine, as long as your car isn't pig dirty it should really just wash over with a light rinse from a hose, as I have found out this morning.
