a word of warning to the masses
yesterday was such a fine day i cut up my cast iorn engine mount from my spare engine
so out come the disc cutter! chop chop chop
and admire my work................
[attachment=13658]
well this has bit me in the ass big time!
go to get in my estate to go to work first thing windsreen wipers on
"scrape" sounds like ice didnt think it was that cold........
NO it weren't its covered in fine grit...you know were this is going now...
get to the garage to clean it off it wont shift!
look at the rest of the car its all covered in grit
the grit it cast iorn filings from the cutting disc and its stuck all over the car
bummer!
OH FECK! theres 3 cars on the drive one being the nice clean white 6
phonecall from work to lewis at home go check the car
his words were its orange!
everything is covered in the dust and has rusted over night and stained all the cars
i didnt cut no where near the cars but the wind carryed the dust over the damp cars were it rusted
ive washed off the 6 and ive had to clay bar it to remove the spots now it needs superesin polishing to remove the orange staining
FML ive got 3 cars to do...........

Might sound stupid but could you have not used a magnet to just pull the filings off the car?

Don't know how far away you was but grinding sparks fly 6ft+ from the grinder
Least it's correctable

You weren't defending yourself imo, you were antagonising the situation. Carry on, and you'll get more warnings.

What a ball ache. Try some Auto Glym Tarmac Remover. I once turned both sides of a car brown with dust from some super aggressive brake pads that liked to spark molten iron filings. The AG did a not bad job applied with a spray bottle, let it soak a little, then wipe with micro fibre.
