I think it is, it collects in the corners of the rear screen and boot lid.
Some days it's horrendous, like you haven't cleaned the car for weeks.

Heard Farage on the radio saying that due to Brexit we can now stop this foreign sand entering the country illegally.

Makes it easier to clean but doesn't stop it from happening. Mine is covered in sand spots like Ian's. Sick of it

Mine looks equally bad...you would think I had driven through a dust storm!
Going for a full wash & detail at the weekend (well, my version of).
Dust like this does seem to stick to the paintwork and my snow foam/wash technique doesn't seem to lift it sometimes - this is after I do a full hose down with the pressure washer, then snow foam, leave for 5 minutes, another hose down, then wash with mitt and shampoo followed by a hose down, then dry. Anyone else struggle with this? Must say the lance I use if pretty rubbish - not very foamy!
Also, I'm going to throw a layer of wax on again because it's been a while. I have 2 applicators (the sponge ones that you are supposed to keep slightly damp), but at the moment they are rock hard. Anyone know how to clean them? I have soaked them before but the wax sort of sits in the sponge and breaks up making it difficult to use...
Waffle over.
