Quick Question in regards to storing a vehicle Hey guys!
I finally had a chance this weekend to clean up my 02 Trans Am WS6.
I cleaned the under carriage, waxed all jams, cleaned interior... and did 2 coats of NXT on exterior.
Today I just finished storing my car for winter but something bad happened , on the way to the storage place it started to spit rain , now the roads wern't wet at all but my car was all spotted up with little rain specs. also there is a long gravel road going to the storage place which I went very slowly on.
When I stored it I was soo mad and didn't want to touch the paint at all because it was FLAWLESS before I left and didn't want to risk putting swirls or scratches cleaning it up a bit before putting the covers on.
Now my question
,
Is it alright for the paint to be really dusty and speckled with rain drops and little tiny specs of gravel? or dust around the wheel wells for 6 months? like will it screw up the paint? I'm really worried as the car is in showroom condition and only has 3900 miles on it. I put the covers on with my dad very carefully not to drag on the car just a straight drop on type a deal.
Will I be okay? it's got 2 coats of NXT on there

It should be ok as long as there isn't a huge gust to move the cover around on the dust. For future reference though NXT is a cleaner wax so it'll strip off the previous layer. I usually do NXT for the first coat to help clean then go on top with Gold Class.

I would really love to! but the car is just loaded in dust and I don't want to take the chance in scratching the paint job.
will any of the dust/gravel specs, make markings in the paint job like pitting or anything?
