It's 11:00 p.m.

You get home from work and various other activities and the vette is covered with Dust, after you just finshed washing it a day ago. It was spottless.

It seems the people cutting stone for the front of my house, and my wife forgot to close the garage!

Do You:
a) Drive the car fast to get the dust off it and call it a night?
b) Just use the hose, to rinse off the dust, then wash it.
c) Drive the car fast to get the dust off, then wash it.

Pick one and I will obey the most popular!

Tile grinding dust might be more abrasive than normal dust. A duster could leave micro scratches??? I'd go with B!

. . . Or (D) Drag the tile guy behind the Vette really fast, then hose him off and plant him in the flower bed!
