They are redoing the roads in our semi-rural area. They have stripped the asphalt off to the dirt. So I get to the end of a road and there is a huge machine working on one side of the road. He is gesturing to me but I have no idea what he is trying to mean. Since he is on the other side of the street, I go past him, and suddenly find myself plowing through a strip of gray powder. I mean, it must have been a foot deep! Now this stuff is super fine and is EVERYWHERE! Caked all over the engine bay, under the bottom of the car, in the door seals, wheel wells, EVERYWHERE!
What is this stuff? Concrete powder? Lime?
I have been taking my leaf blower to it and trying not to breathe it in. I suspect I need to change the air filter and oil. I am worried about using water if it is concrete powder.
