Today when I got from work and walked to my car, I saw that it actually had that very rare paint on it called Sahara. It's very unique as you can see from the pictures.

It turned out to be sand from the Sahara desert. The Sahara desert is thousands of kilometers from here, still the wind blew the sand all this way and all cars over here are sandy like mine...

Now I know it's not easy to keep Jet Black clean, but I don't think the car has ever been this dirty before.

Even my Space Grey looked about like your black one, but my problem was mostly birch pollen.

Had the car washed today and then it looked like this...
