    Pollen Season Returns...............

    Well it started here about 2 weeks ago and it`s at full strength. I always keep my rides clean and protected with Blackfire Wet Diamond and with Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray and with FK1 this part of the year. What are you using or plan to use when the pollen comes knocking on your car? and yourself too!

    BTW I know some of your are dealing with old man winter still, but this pollen is crazy here in Florida.

    Pretty much a lost cause here it St. Pete Angelo. I use FK425 which provides a little slickness; however, if it`s humid when I leave for work in the morning it will dry to the finish.

    It is still 3 to 4 weeks for us before the pollen starts. The Bradford pears will be starting soon.

    Re: Pollen Season Returns...............

    Dont remind me.... I remember last year it sucked soooo bad. If a customer dropped their car off for any service and didn`t pick it up with in an hour of being done it had a yellow tint on it and they would always complain. We were going through 5 gallons of QD spray every cpl weeks from dusting cars down. The pollen is just sticky enough that you cant blow it off with compressed air... Not looking forward to this!! Thanks for reminding me Angelo!!!!

    Have you tried a Ca.car duster?It works great for me! I just vacume the yellow dust off when it accumulates on the duster.

    Yeah but after couple uses they seem to put micro scratches in the paint.. Or maybe I`m doing it wrong?
