Default Pollen on my Vette

I noticed some green looking dust on my 04 black Z51 today.

I've lived in Florida all of my life and never noticed pollen on cars till like late Feb or into March! Here it is Jan4th , something is wacky with the weather these days!

Does seem strange to have pollen on the car this early in the year.

Had it every day when I was working up in CT this summer. Never washed a car so many times in my life.
Good wash and another wax covering does the trick.
