it will mess up the paint so bad,burns it.

most carwash places have dusting for the car before traveling. Yes we tried this before going to Saudi,

once you put the dust on the body of car, do not go more then 60km-h a hour for the first 2 hours until its dry.

Then when you come back from this trip any car wash will take it back off.

I used lux; very effective and low cost solution.

When you enter Saudi Arabia, after customs, at the first petrol station there are people who will do this for you in 30-50 Riyal.

but its very easy and you can do it yourself. Just do it one night before and not immediately before starting the trip.

This will badly affect the paint of the car.

Dont try please...

You can use any dish washing liquid.... apply softly and leave it on to dry...

Easy to wash after trip...
