Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi Jenn.... PLEASE don't use the wipers to help remove the ash from your windows. The ash is very abbrasive and will scratch your windows. As much as possible use air to blow the dust off. If this is not an option, a garden hose with LOTS of water to remove the dust is helpful. Use the wipers only when there is no evidence of ash left. Other parts that need to be addressed: Change your oil soon and often as long as there is ash blowing in the air or on the ground. The ash is pulled in through your air filter (which is probably not designed for ash) and into the oil which then acts as sandpaper on the inner workings of your car. The air filter aslo shoud be changed for the same reasons. A few models have filters hooked in with the air conditioning, if you have one, change it. When ash is a possibility, I cover my car with a sheet of plastic and then leave it parked until the ash has been cleared by a nice rain shower. When all else fails, I remind myself that 'this too shall pass.' Take care of yourself. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
