Dust/sand. Probably just general crap, it has been pretty windy lately. All would need is a light wash/pressure wash off. I wouldn't put any more wax on unless I know I had a clean surface first, ie it had properly prepped first.

Had this same thing this morning, and like you jetted off and applied another coat of SN... It does look like it was sand, it was definately not the usual crap, and it was a sand colour...

It wasn't just my car tho it was pretty much all of the cars in my street and I saw plenty of peeps driving around with the stuff on there cars..

GRRRRRRR! :angry:
