Desert sand
Great pictures, thanks for sharing! I did my first trip there in ‘23 and Aziz gave my 110 the pre-desert check too!

A question for all those who have done a similar trip……
Does anyone have any tips/tricks/insights as to how to stop the dust/sand etching the side windows? Even though we kept the windows up and the a/c on…sand found its way around the edges and under the weather strips and etched the glass. Some others in the same trip ended up with side windows that looked like they were a bar code!
Any advice from the wise?

I had quite a bit of the etching, especially after the first trip because my AC was bust so needed to open the windows. It polishes out fairly easily. I did it by hand, but a orbital polisher would do it in no time. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I don't have air con and my windows were down a little at the beginning..
By the time we were done I just kept them closed and put up with the heat... made little difference or was to late.. my back lane at home resembles the Sahara atm with a red brown coating🤣
I suspect my truck will end it's life with Sahara sand and dust still in places that can not be reached..
I'm still in the process of cleaning ..it seems endless🤣
I left the engine running the other day and just ran a hose over everything under the bonnet., and that is just to get the thick of it off..it will be a while before it's anything like it used to be
😫
I'll check my windows but hadn't noticed any etching..maybe because at the minute it seems like the least of me worries 🫣
