Does pollen reduce LSP durability?

[imported_RedlineIRL]

Around a week and a half ago I detailed my car, clay, polish, Poorboys EX sealant, and Collinite 845. I haven't washed it since because of time and the pollen being real bad. I washed it the other day, and the finish seems slick still but it doesn't have the small and tight beads like I first had with 845. Does the pollen really take a toll on LSPs? I thought that the 845 was supposed to last a lot longer than this.

How did you wash it?

I have observed the same (not so good beading) when I leave my car unwashed for more than a month. (it seems to me that dirt etch wax protection).



Having waxed my two cars in the same day the one that get washed regularly seems to hold more.

Pollen is bad. I've heard it is hard to control swimming pool pH when pollen is big because it is so acidic. I'm also pretty sure it had a lot to do with some water spots that have just shown up on my car.
