Default What would you do?

Car cover blew off yesterday. Would you wash the car which I was going to do? But then again im thinking maybe use california duster and put the cover back on.

I would California Duster it then wipe it down with detail spray like Chadwicks or Mequiers, That's what I do after every trip. I don't use soap and water unless I drove on a muddy road.

I would wash to be safe, just me though.

Do you live in a particularly dusty area or near manufacturing plants (like refineries) that might emit acid based particulates? If so, wash, dry, cover.

If not- then I probably wouldn't sweat it if the car normally lives outside.

I would wash the cover, if it was on the ground, that dirt will be between the cover and paint. Not good.

As for the car, if all that is on it is dust, just use the California Duster to get it clean again.
