Lol, has happened to me a couple times. Get a California Car Duster (12 or 13 bucks at Target or Wally world), love mine. It works great in situations like this and to keep it clean after a wash ;)

At least it wasn't the 'Mayhem" guy from Allstate cutting the grass.... could've been really bad. :/

What an *******, it looks like the guy saw your nice car and blow all the debris towards it.

You should move your car wash schedule to Tuesday evening so you car can go back to looking shiny next day.

Lesson 2: Don't park on the side of the road and end up getting hit with hard water from the sprinkler system.

Funny you mention that...mine will be here on Thursday. Sadly, it drizzled just after they mowed so it is a two wash week. Oh well.

Actually you're better off taking it to a car wash and power wash it off instead of using the duster, because you'd be sweeping all that debris and dust across a dry paint surface which can cause tiny scratches onto the paint.

yep, one of the reasons why my G has a chip on the side of the fender is from the damn landrapers blowing dead grass and rocks AT my car. :shakes head:

If its wet as he said yes, if not it wont damage the paint. Been in this situation a couple times and no paint damage to the Z or Max as a result of a grass etc. after C.C.D usage.

leaf blowers cant tell the difference between grass, mulch, and pebbles. it will throw things at your car.

Once I had enough leverage to get paid by some jerk with a blower nailing my just detailed car. I got $100.

At first the landscaper did not speak English. I told my next door business neighbor* my situation and he had the worker, who had learned English in just a few days, give me the 100 bucks, and never did it again.


*I graciously let his customers park in my spaces. I can rescind this at any time.

NickBaragona 09-10-2013 05:28 PM

So what's the verdict? Will a California Car Duster scratch a dry surface with grass on it? I live in a place with the same situation, and have no other option...
