Unhappy Pollen!!

ARGGH! I hate that crap. I really noticed the pollen beginning to settle on my car. You can't win against this stuff. It is next to impossible to keep your car clean.

Does Zaino hold up well against pollen? I know pollen will suck carnuaba right off of a finish for some reason.

I'll be glad when the next few weeks pass by.

Pollen is very abrasive, if you wash it off you will be fine, I know if you try taking it off with a quick detailer and a towel you can strip your wax or polish, and scratch your car as well.

Just get a California car duster. At least you don't have to deal with tree sap like me.

I'm with Carl....

For anything as abrasive as pollen, you need to rinse the car off often, and wash when needed. I personally would never rub towels, a Cali Duster, or anything but a water hose and mitt over a pollenated car.... If you use the Cali Duster, then you've got that pollen crap in the duster forever.... For my car, I'll only wash it off.....no QD's, no towels, etc...

I with both KillerTA and MikeLS. The duster is good for a very thin layer of pollen on the car. If its thick i wouldnt use the duster on it. However i dont belive that adding water to the pollen and rubbing it off the car with a mit is any better. Both are gonna scratch hopefully the wax. If your like me you just wax it often and you dont have to worry about it touching the paint, Just the wax.

For pollen, I just spray the car off REAL good, then I wash lightly. Then, about two hours later,the car is yellow again. I have plenty of Zaino on my paint,so it will be fine.
