Crap stuck all over my truck

[Squid kids Dad]

As far as I know they havent started putting asphault down yet...Unless they did it saturday..And if they did I doubt the"overspray"reached that far..I would ask the marina if someone else had the same problem

[Van]

Thanks guys.

I talked to the Pres of the club/marina.
He had not heard yet of other problems, but I think he will.
They must have trashed a bunch of vehicles, as there where probably 30-40 cars and trucks with the big work parties going on.

I bought some bug/tar remover and it helped quite a bit. But I took it to the detailer here in our parking garage and they have a remover that works well. (He showed me) He said it is definately road tar or road sealant spray. I mean this stuff was everywhere,,,,on the roof too.

He said......Don't worry MAAN it get it all off and she gonna CHINE like new again!!!!! I hope so.....

If the club gets more complaints, then I will follow up. Its not worth my time trying to track down who when and how to get paid back.
I wanna go fishing.

Van Man-went into Boston today and did notice the stripped asphalt... If they stripped the day you were nearby and downwind, the asphalt dust would have settled on your vehicle and then baked on in the sun....
Wax and tar remover my friend...better yet if it is a new ride, take it to the detail shop and let experienced hands take care of it.

Got her back today looks great, no damage to the finish or exterior plastic. The interior smells like a _ _ _ _ _ _ dancer though.

Now i have to replace the wipers. sounds like that should be easy,,,but NO... not only are the different lengths, they are different widths. Had to hit a few stores to get what i need.
Dunno know what toyota was thinking with that one. Why have different widths ??? Maybe they were lowest bidder parts....

Anyway its all good now, I have not heard back from the club yet either.

a little different scenario of course

but at the company where my wife works

they had some sort of clean up action or
construction going on...

and every car there came home like it
had been sprayed with a muddy dirt.

if not for the rain washing some of it off
it was ridiculous... and inexcusable

but on the windshield ........ i had applied a double

coating of RAINX ............i love that stuff...

and none of the dirt/mud & crud could stay put
and it dusted off like ....it was floating on air...

the other good thing about it is
one bottle has lasted many years.

Van,

I was at the DYC today,talking with one of the Board of Directors (Frank). He told me all the cars in the parking lot where covered with tar on Saturday!!!! Some so bad they where black and cars where a different color.

Don't know who you talked to but the DYC does not have a president, but we do have a Commodore and he knows all about the the tarrings.

He also stated that they are not protecting the water way with hay as they should be to protect the water way and if reported the company will be fined heavily!!!

So they should be very willing to handle any complaints very quietly!!!

Yes it was the commodore, thinking and typing at the same time is challenging.

I will follow up again, maybe we/I can get compensated for the refinishing,,that would be cool....

I am putting the boat in today (after fishing) and I'll see who is around.
