Sandstorms are severe in the summer in Dubai. In such circumstances, strong winds can carry sand and dust far off, making the atmosphere polluted. Dust accumulates on the exterior surface and also gets into the cabin, causing trouble for car owners.
Here are some tips for keeping the car clean in sandstorm conditions
- Car Cover: When possible, cover the car to prevent dust from settling on the surface.
- Regular Car Wash: Regular car wash may be required to keep the car clean and help retain the exterior shine. In extreme conditions, steam washing may be considered. Steam washing makes use of high temperatures to make the surface spotlessly clean. During wiping after a regular wash, scratches can form on the surface. This is prevented in steam washing and also cleans inaccessible areas of the car, including the underbelly.
- Car Detailing: Regular car wash may not be sufficient to clean the surface thoroughly. Detailing removes the minor scratches and swirl marks, helping to retain the paint gloss. Application of wax or sealant can also protect the exterior paint. Wheels and tyres are also cleaned during the detailing process. Sandstorms also cause dirt and sand to enter inside the cabin. Vacuum cleaning, shampooing, special treatment for leather seats, and cleaning of glass are undertaken during interior detailing.

- Keep Windows Shut: It may be a good idea to keep the car windows pulled up in sandstorm conditions. This prevents dust from entering the cabin and causing health problems for passengers.
- Clean Air Filters: Car owners are advised to have a regular inspection of air filters. Dirt can clog the filters. The performance of the engine and the air conditioner will be compromised when air filters are clogged. It is better to use the AC in recirculation mode rather than taking air from outside. This can help prevent dust from accumulating inside the cabin.
