No, the garage attendants did, but I knew that would be the case going in since they always leave the windows open.

Yes, and got a blast of dust, I actaully turned it on full, a/c, heat, defrost and vent begore I started cleaning the interior.
That stuff is nasty! The media really downplayed the health risks to everyone exposed.

Yeah I know, I was really careful, vacuumed everything thoroughly first, then dampend towels to do the first, second and third wipe down, but the dust got everywhere whenit was in the garage, under the dash, etc. What's the half life of asbestos?

Richard, We are glad to see that you were able to get her cleaned up. Man what a job that must have been, you did a great job!!
Thanks Mary and Ralph, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Six hours to do the interior, everything had to be cleaned three times to get all the residue off. It still smells a bit like the dust, but I'm hopeful that will go away in time.
I've been out of touch a few days camping with the family and just now saw your post. Can't tell you how glad i am to hear you made it out safe! In addition, the car looks no worse for the wear.
Take care my NY friend!

You did a fine job getting your car cleaned up! All I can say is WOW!
Glad you're o.k. - I guess you don't feel too lucky, but from the perspective now, you are fortunate indeed.
Let's all count our blessings, and stay strong for those still in the fight and still hurting.
