I’ve got engines that still have their original dust as they arrived here 😬 😂

Once in a while I take something off of a shelf and it gets dusted.

If you don’t dust anything it’s not as noticeable… just saying… 🧐

Dust can quickly form a wonderful "patina" that will hide a multitude of surface imperfections in a well-used engine!

As I get older Dust just seems more.......natural. Maybe that's from me looking in the mirror every morning.
