Use a jet wash to get the dust off or just hose it down with plenty of water then give it a good wash and it'll be fine

just pull the car out the garage and get a bucket of very soapy water and soak/splash it all over once it's soaked use another bucket of soapy water and a sponge/glove and wash the car as you nornally would!

Smokestone shows every f******g dust particle.

Get a valeting duster brush. It is 100% cotton with wax baked onto the strands and is guaranteed not to mark any paintwork. Use it on mine and has never left a swirl mark.

Now that is proper gaylord behaviour

Paul: Go for a quick drive (in the dry) then rinse with copious amounts of water or squash a sponge over it t oremove the film. Just don't rub it with the sponge otherwise it will scratch it for deffo.
