Extreme Conditions and the 8
I work at a copper smelter and honestly, for all you Sierra nuts out there, it's not nearly horrid as you want everyone to think... ok... I'm off my soapbox now :). But there's enough that I've been warned to keep an eye on my BB 8. Haven't seen any signs of damage yet in the 3 months I've had her.
Here's my questions: - Anyone have any suggestions for a car cover resistant to minute concentrations of SO2, dust, and Cu concentrate? - Should I somehow clean out the engine compartment (it's fairly dusty)? - And finally, will Zaino hold up under very dusty conditions? If so, which products will provide maximum protection? Thanks! |
neko- from experience, putting a car cover on everyday is a pain even if it did work. I'd say invest in a beater if you want to really protect your investment, not only the paint, but the interior. I imagine your clothes get pretty dirty at a place like that.

Actually, not too badly... though I've been getting to play in the mud a lot lately (my work Tacoma loves it). I bring pre/post-work clothes so my interior is protected. And thanks for the advice. Can't do the beater, though I like that idea. Ah well... nothing in this life is easy, esp. if it's worth having.

I'd just get a cheap cover from walmart and replace it as soon as it looks like its getting very contaminated.
As for zaino, i used to work at kelloggs company when i was an undergrad in college and I got out of work everyday to a layer of sugar on my car. Zaino worked great. It let the stuff wash right off. |
car cover isn't going to stop sulfur dioxide, it will keep off the copper salts though. at the cereal factory after a while i just used the cover everday and it was fine.

I love car covers. I park in a VERY dusty city garage and mine keeps my car dust free. The first few times you fold a car cover it takes a few minutes—but once you learn how, you can remove it and fold it very quickly—in less than a minute. They go on even faster!
Covercraft is a good website to figure out what kind of cover would be best for you… http://www.covercraft.com/ http://www.covercraft.com/fabric%20g...rev%208-06.pdf |
From my experience, Zaino attracts really fine particles of dust(it happened to me)... but then when you wash it, it lifts right off. I think a cover would help, just to prevent the dust buildup.
