Car collection maintenance
I run a collection of 25 classic cars all restored, it is in a warehouse with a/c .
I have always kept the cars with covers, but now I would like to keep them without the covers so we can appreciate the cars much better.
How can I keep the cars without dust ? How they do it in the car museums?

Re: Car collection maintenance
This will help allot, use quality AC filters & change regularly. Keep the doors/windows shut as much as possible & good housekeeping.

Good quality microfiber towels and some quick detailer or waterless wash will do the trick for you!

Re: Car collection maintenance
if you can figure out a way to eliminate dust, please share it with us! We all know how to remove dust, but to prevent it? Id love to know!

Re: Car collection maintenance
You cannot eliminate dust, what you can do is control it. Best is see post #2. For dust that escapes post #2 see post #3

Re: Car collection maintenance
If the cars are not coated, coatings seemingly do a good job at keeping the dust at bay. Call me crazy but I have noticed it that at least using Pinnacle BL Diamond Coating helps.

Re: Car collection maintenance
a high quality sealant and as mentioned, a cutting edge waterless wash and high quality microfiber towels.
imo no need to have coatings on classic cars unless they are left out at times. the exception is on the glass as i believe the right coating on glass can help prevent road wash damage.

Re: Car collection maintenance
Your maintenance program could start off by
"WW/QD-dusting" them, one at a time, from
one end of the warehouse to the other.
When finished with the initial maintenance round
of "WW/QD-dusting" all 25: start over; and do it
all over again; and again; ad infinitum.

Re: Car collection maintenance
Thank you all for your comments. I see is not an easy task even more having the cars on lifts.
Will a blowers get rid of the dust having sealer on the paint?
Is it better a sealer than wax?
Is WW water wash or waterless wash?
Thank you for your help.
