Question for Chadwicks Users
My kit will be delivered today and I plan to do the car this weekend. Of course pollen season is upon us and it's usually pretty bad here in virginia. Is it safe to use the Chadwicks spray to wipe down a pollen encrusted car? This gives me pause for concern, but I am curious what others do.

We really get **** about our cars, especially after being on this forum. Not a Chadwick user, but I did watch his video 
and I see no problem. Using any cleaner for that matter.
Guess I'm old school, but that most likely works good, but I prefer to do more than just clean the car. I know with the clear coat that is most likely all that's needed. Just me.

Suggest you give your Vette a swipe w/Calif Duster if you have one b-4 using your Chadwicks. Don't know if really needed but I always want to play it safe when it come to my Corvette...Good luck!

That's what I do if I can see dust on my car. Go easy, no pressure and let the duster do the work.

With these guys.I know some that may not agree using the duster but, I swear by it when it comes to any kind of light dusting or pollen. Use it like a fine paint brush with a gentle glide and you'll be just fine. Saves time and saves you the hassle of using more Chadwicks and micro fiber towels.

I use my duster first and then I use Chadwick's. Then you don't use as much. This stuff is awesome. Works great when you don't want to spend a lot of timing cleaning your car. I buy in the gallon. Better buy.

I also live in Va and I know all about the pollen problem in the spring. I have mine covered under a carport and even covered it is still covered with the stuff. I don't like to rub anything (like the duster) on the paint so I use an air blaster/dryer to blow off the pollen prior to using Chadwicks. Fast & efficient--plus you can get into the cracks & crevices.
