    Well it is pollen season here in the swamp state of LA, and well my freshly poshied and waxed/ sealed cars are now a yellow green. I wish there was something to keep it pollen free. Anyone know of something to keep it clean during one of my most hated times of year,.

    Florida is bad as well. A clean car will be covered in less than 10 mins. After the pollen ends the love bugs will be right around the corner.

    I hear you. I`m living with that now. California Car Duster is the only thing I`ve found for it.

    same deal down here in Houston...pollen everywhere. my black vehicles now have a nice puke tint to them.



    also, as others have mentioned...the california car duster works pretty good as a quick wipe down. my car duster only gets use during the pollen season. LOL

    My car is covered in pollen. Thought about washing it and trying out my new wax. Think I will wait until its all gone.

    not sure how bad the pollen is where you live, but down here it is an infestation.



    washed my black navigator last weekend and by the time i washed and dried the vehcile (which do in sections because of its size), there was already a fine layer of pollen on it. I did a quick QD wipe down 1 panel at a time so I could get some optiseal on it. talk about pain in the behind...but i will say, she looked GOOD. for all of 20 minutes! LOL!

    Yeah I would use california car duster or use a microfiber towel and get you a spray bottle and spray a little water on the surface and wipe with towel to catch all the pollen.

    I rinse my car with a hose then drive it around.

    Today I noticed instead of the pollen blanket on my car being a 1/2" thick, it was only a 1/4" thick. But now, little stringed-seed pods are now flying all over and landing on the car.

    Jeez.
