Angry What is up with the dirt all over Dallas roads!!!!!

MAn its been soo nasty outside, I dont even think about driving my car.

I know they put all this on the road so the cars dont slip but man I feel the dirt hitting my car from the cars infront of me or when cars pass.....

Yep, thats the problem after they put down sand because of icy roads. Dont drive to close to someone, or else you will be sand blasted.

We need a good strong rain to get it to wash away, cause you know they wont clean it up.

Yeah it'll be here for a week or two at least unless it rains. You'll see clouds of it in the horizon and everything will seem hazy.

ya, im actually washing my car on sunday in preparation for some fine detailing on monday. i think im gonna tape up my front bumper on the drive to the place, even though i wont cross any bridges. but i will be really close to where alot of the sand is over the tollway.

do i really need the blue painters tape, or will plain masking tape work?

I think masking tape would be too sticky and may leave residue on your bumper. Painters tape is low adhesion.
