Thumbs down YAY!! It's pollen time again!

Could have sworn I bought a blue car, not a green one. I hate this time of year. At least the duster is getting a good workout.

Don't you hate it when you miss a spot with the duster and notice the next day on your way to work?

I have lost the fight and thrown in the towel.. Between the pollen and the morning dew everyday, my car looks like crap. I am just going to wait until it passes before I give it a good washing.

I washed my car yesterday, parked in my dorm's parking deck. Went bowling last night, parked as far away from everyone as possible, NO trees anywhere in the lot. Come out to my car covered with yellow ****...

Not to b1tch too much, but sucks even more for me - cleaning the car with one hand, sneezing my @ss off into the other.
Slightly off topic, but I've never had luck with those dusters. Seems like they always leave crap (traces) on the car. Any recommendations?

I moved from CA to FL recently, and it's either black dust in CA or yellow in FL...either way, it's daily duster duty. I'm glad my Z is garage kept. Broo...I think the way to go is the ORIGINAL CA car duster...thats what most people use. OXO also makes a duster..google search for it

Yeah, I washed my car last week and then waxed it (first time) and the next day it had pollen all over it, so I got out a towel and it wiped right off and I felt better. Didn't drive it for a couple days and when i went to drive it the next time, there was a layer of pollen on there that would not wipe off, kinda freaked me out, thought it was something with the wax. I dont remember ever seeing as much pollen on cars as I have in the last couple weeks. It would be nice to have a garage

whats all this green nonsense, my car went a solid shade of yellow.

you dont beleive me?

thats what happens when you have a week of 6000count pollen with no rain.

sure glad I dont have alergies cause that had to suck.

but still, washing the car is useless, its got a light dusting within 3 hours.
