Alright guys, here's the deal. I'm 18 and I'm a classic stang lover. I drive an 89' GT. About 3 months ago I helped my dad in buying his first classic mustang since the 80's. This car would be a beautiful great-shape 1969 Mach 1 (390ci, hurst 4spd). Needless to say my Mustang-lover friends have been stopping by, begging to see the car, to which I say "alright alright, lemme take the cover off."
Problem is... recently my dad was grinding down a fiberglass sink in the garage (doors open... but its not all gonna get out), and alot of the excess dust settled on the outside car cover. Well... I wasn't aware of that. So... sometime around a week ago I'm assuming, after one of the times I took the cover off to show my friends the car... I put it on wrong, what was the outside was now the inside. A couple days ago (when I was goin over the interior, looking for parts that needa' replacin') I realized that the car seemed extremely dusty. I thought to myself "gee... what-a-car-cover this thing is, letting dust right through." Not the case, obviously. Today my dad pointed out to me why the car looked like it did (it was the first time he noticed it). I feel really dumb, hah. I guess I should too, but it was clearly an accident.
What my worries are centered around is the car's paintjob. This may be a stretch... but do you think the fiberglass dust (and it is very fine), has any chance of marring the paint? I've vowed to wash the car this weekend (weather pending), but... I worry alot, hah... and do you guys think theres any chance of the dust putting fine scratches in the paint? And to you that say (if you say) "not if it wasn't physically rubbed in", what about the car cover itself, laying on the car? Is that enough to "rub it in"? This weekend will be I guess just shy of 2 weeks the dust has been laying on the car.
Sorry, I know this post isnt too relavant to anything, I'm just a worry-wort.
