Hey guys,

This is my first post/thread. Yesterday we got about an 1/8 of an inch of ash from Mt. Redoubt... What precautions should I take before I start or drive the vehicle? I didn't have a tarp or a car cover so there's ash pretty much all over my baby. I was thinking about vacuuming everything I can before I drive to the touchless car wash. I know I probably need to get another air filter and I have to be VERY careful with the ash and the paint but is there anything else I should know?? Is it ok to drive when it just ashed yesterday?? Thanks for your help.

Here is a link I found. It is for fire ash, not volcanic, but it should be the same.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Yeah.... I can't help you with the ash. No ash in TX. Maybe you should move down here - it's much warmer....

 

HA! Too bad AK's waaay better... (sorry had to do it, you're our arch enemy state)

So... I went ahead and blew off all the ash on the truck and put a pair of panty hose over the intake. I'm off to the laserwash now... I hope most of the other vehicles ate all the ash already. STUPID ASH!
