If it`s anything like we had; expect 6 weeks of that crap floating around. This was the worse year I can remember dealing with that stuff

Saw a wasp with a pollen pouch the size of a pea this morning, so I guess it`s good for those guys. I have a sealant on there (BFWD + BFCS + BFMS on the hood and front bumper) but no matter how slick the surface, the pollen just sticks. I try not to obsess too much, humbly submit to the dust and pollen, and just stick to my weekend washes. :bow

This man know what he is talking about. With a good coating and a PW or even a hard rain or strong hose off I can get my car 95%+ just by rinsing and blow drying.

Luckily, most of the pollen season in Florida is over... Pollen is nasty stuff/super abrasive...

Agreed. I don`t even like to do a RW when it`s as heavy as in my pic above. The pic doesn`t even do it justice...came out of my office yesterday afternoon and the roof looked like an optic yellow tennis ball. That`s 2BM pollen thickness for me!

It was horrible the past two months here in Georgia. It`s finally died down with the amount of rain we`ve had.

This year the pollen was not as nearly as bad especially from pine trees. I wonder if the cool spring was a factor.

NO
Isopropyl Alcohol dabbed on a rag, wipe gently. Just be careful on the ratio if it`s near 85+
