My car is covered in tiny bits of Iceland.

Anyone else? How far has it reached?

There was certainly more dust on the car yesterday than I would have normally expected.
I guess it's ash.

T-Cut is the normal starting point.

I'm all good :D

Just finished drying my baby. She looks awesome and I've been enjoying the cloudless skies. I'm wondering if my extreme westerly location puts me out of the path of the ash.....

Been clear blue skies in Leeds up until now...

But according to the BBC (i'll find a link when I can) the ash is too high to see anyway, so we could have cloudless skies and still be under the ash. Hence why it's dangerous. Or something.

And my car was red, is now grey =(

Woke up this morning to find that my beautiful hard work is still shining and no sign of contamination here. Oh, and it's another gorgeous day, if a little cooler as a result of a Northerly breeze.

Stay away ash cloud :)

The only fallout on my car is of a definite avian variety. :x

Did you count them?
Anyway, with the way you apparently drive little scratches should be the least of your car worries.
