I know everything in nature has its place and function in nature (I guess), but having pollen season kick off about the same time as some fine drop top driving weather in east Texas arrives is, um, inconvenient, to say the least. Everything I own HAS GOT A NEW PAINT JOB OF LIGHT GREEN!!! The good news is it goes away, eventually! Best wishes to all!

keep it in the garage if its a problem... or put some Zaino on there, or Windex if you are Greek.. and the pollen will just blow right off. Windex is also good for pimples.. but again only if you are Greek.

Hi Bill, always enjoy your humor!! Garages, windex, zaino, chadwicks, car covers, california dusters, all is in vain within seconds against mother nature and even the slightest breeze. I know, its a test of my dedication to the Corvette gods. Its winning now but I'll prevail in the end, when it lets me!! Best wishes, always good talking with you, have a good one!!

We've got pollen, the farmers are all going nuts, scratching in the dirt since we hit the 70's, and I own a black vette. Woe is me. In the fall it's air borne grain dust.
With a black car in the midwest a car cover is almost mandatory.

Thankfully no pollen problem here, but the rain is putting a damper on driving the car.

Pollen isn't hateful here yet.... I have got in the habit of blowing mine off after a drive with my metrovac.

California Duster. Twelve bucks at Walmart. It's worth a try. Follow instructions and it works great. If you don't like it, you aren't out much. I use it after every drive, Great product.
