We get it all the time here, it's very fine, just like talc, washes off nice and easy but does get everywhere, especially inside when you turn the the blower on!

That's it! Although I haven't had the blower issue. :o

And I don't suppose it's as severe as you get down there, all the cars are covered and look dusty anyway when I'm in southern Spain. As they would I suppose.

But it is a warmer climate issue, of course.  8)
