I don't believe we have had any fall out in the UK

Definatly no sign on my car in Leeds

Fallout is acidic from what I understand, so any on a car should be rinsed with lots and lots of water to dilute it, don't scrub it off as it's very abrasive as it's made up of tiny rock type particals

if you think it's fall out, I recon a pro detailer might correct it cheaper, if you have a high excess

Def not ash......we have not had any in this country yet, and if we do it will fall with any rain.......probably something else. House next door to mine was on fire the other night and left a huge deposit all over my car - had to jet wash it - first time in 4 weeks.....all ok now..

The ash from this volcano is meant to be grey/black mate.....so I have seen...
