This is how you free your car from the red Sahara dust!

Currently is again Sahara dust in circulation and leaves its mark on the vehicles. The following article gives tips on how to wash your vehicle afterwards. If you look at the sky in many places, you have seen yellow-red clouds for a few days. The trigger for this is warm air from North Africa, which brings Saharan dust to Central Europe and the well-known "blood rain“ (is what it is called when it rains off Sahara dust) caused. That is why drivers have to contend with a light layer of dust on the vehicle. Under no circumstances should the 0,1 to 10 micron large grains of sand simply be wiped away with a cloth in the form of a dry wash wipe off. We'll find them too Rinseless Wash (Garry Dean method) Variant inappropriate in this case. But the dry wash in particular acts like sandpaper on the car paintwork and brings with it many small scratches.

Sahara dust in Germany: how to do it when washing!

Saharan dust can get into the car paint when the sun is shining burn in, therefore a timely removal is not only useful, but also wichtig. However, washing and hosing down the car with a simple water hose is not allowed everywhere, so play it safe and head to the next one car wash, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble. And use enough water when washing so that the dust is completely removed and not further worked in. Especially if you use a rag to dry afterwards.

When you have finished washing, it is best to wipe any hidden areas with a damp cloth, such as the gaps between the doors or the fuel filler cap. If the interior of the car also contains Saharan dust, you can also clean it with a damp cloth. However, in order not to cause any damage, you should remove the rag always wash with fresh water. You should be particularly careful with the panes, as scratches can easily occur here. You should therefore get a special shammy use for cleaning.

Check the pollen filter after washing the car

After the Sahara dust should also pollen filter of the car are checked. This should definitely be exchanged when it is full so that everything does not end up in the car at some point. If you can't do it on your own, you can easily ask a workshop for help. If you have your own garage, it's even better, because then you can just leave your car indoors during the Sahara dust season and save yourself the trouble of washing the car afterwards.
