This is what it looks like when Saharan dust contaminates cars parked outside. Now it’s time to wash the car, especially…

The unique atmosphere is great – but anyone who comes to the car parked outside suddenly dislikes the Saharan dust: the car seems to be covered in yellow dust. If it’s still raining, the “blood rain” creates nasty, hard streaks on the paint.

Once the danger of sand is over, it is ideally recommended to wash the car completely or at least rinse it with a high-pressure cleaner. Never wipe dust off paintwork or windows; Both cause tiny micro-scratches that, after years, can dull the scratch-sensitive windshield and dull the paint. Why not wait for the next “clean” rain? Because dust is hard to get rid of on its own, and the sun can then burn it into the paint like fly residue.

Plenty of water for rinsing

If you want to clean the windshield for a short time, you should use the washer very intensively as well as the wiper. In do-it-yourself systems, it is better to invest an extra franc in pre-rinsing or rinsing so that sand does not get under the brush during brushing. Automatic car washes are guaranteed to always use enough water.

After washing, use a damp cloth to clean hidden areas such as the interior door trims or the inner edge of the trunk lid; Thus, it prevents dust from being carried inside. Then apply a cloth over the dashboard: If the cloth turns yellow, you should also clean and vacuum the inside.

Pollen filter ready to be replaced

Before vacuuming fine sand particles from upholstery and carpets, briefly set the ventilation to high; Otherwise, the sucked dust may spoil the entire cleaning later. If there is a lot of dust coming out of the vents, this usually indicates that the fresh air filter (pollen filter) is full. Then check and replace if necessary (see user manual).
