Every morning the dew on my window has orange dust all into it! My car has a fine mist of dirt on it every day! Until the ground is planted or covered at a nearby construction site, I will have issues at keeping my car clean. :bang:

I just went through the meguires 3 step process, but dirt is not like pollen and will not brush off once the early morning dew turns it into mud!! :bang:

Car cover may be a solution, but I hate them. :bang:

I have the same problem. They are building a new highway behind my house so i clean the car and the next day there is dust on my car all over and god forbid it rains...it then stays all white on the car. I tried a car cover but somehow the dirt came through when it would rain. Im interested to see where this thread is going. So your not alone friend!

Car covers are made to breath to let the moisture out so damage to your paint is minimal so one of those will not help the situation. Also, DON'T try to wipe or dust the residue off. This is not just regular dust but in fact very fine particles of cement that will only scratch your clearcoat if you try to wipe it off.

The only solution I can think of is to find an alternate parking space.
