Wow that is extraordinary, for us it left a few sand spots and that was about it.

This was at my parents place at the same time and an example of how it left the buildings etc.

It felt quite surreal at the time.

Bet it didn’t do the glass much good turning the wipers on

Bet it didn't do the paintwork much good getting it off, either.

I’ve had both the car paint and glass ceramic coated some time ago which is holding up really well so no, with the correct washing technique there was no damage. I am well impressed with the Gyeon MOHs+ coating.

Got a bit grimy from salty German autobahns on a February visit to the Küppersmühle Museum a few years ago but apart from that it's usually languishing (cleaned) under its' Stormforce cover.
Went to marvel at some massive Frank Auerbach paintings and to have a good old chuckle at some of the Joseph Beuys stuff. Idk how that guy got away with it - takin the proverbial all them years ago!

He could have used clean brushes or is it meaningful being mucky.

I don't quite know what Beuys was trying to convey with that one.
Perhaps the concept of inequality, proximity and deterministic socio-political implications between small and large, as well as the vicissitudes of modern ideology via the medium of 2 old scrubbers. Who knows?

I think it is, yes.
They are shoe cleaning brushes and have been used. But there are no shoes...

Conveying a sense of uselessness or loneliness, or grief.....

Or he could have found some old brushes under the kitchen sink and stuck 'em in a box hoping to make a few quid.

That is impressive that the glass didnt get scratched by a wiper going straight over the sand

I don't mind mine getting dirty but its satisfying getting them clean again!

Was filthy after 7 days in Suffolk. Now clean after 20 mins at Ruby's Car Wash, Charlton.

I think the real question here is…. Is Ruby Filthy?
