Default Pollen!
The pollen here in southern VA is crazy! My Cyber Grey LS3 is now yellow-green. I hope this pollen season is short lived, It was 93 today!

Cheers,
Mike

I live in Georgia and washed my DSOM 06 last week, after washing it I went to use my Mothers Powerball to wax it, i saw it blowing pollen as I waxed and stopped because there was no point in risking destroying my paint.

The pollen count in Atlanta today was 5733. Anything over 120 is considered high. It was a yellow winterland today. I am holding the vette inside as much as possible to keep it red.

Yep, the duster is worth it's weight in gold in this season. But yeah, the lime green tintcoat on machine silver doesn't look so good.

Ha, i always thought people were crazy how much they cared about a little pollen or dirt or even a tiny scratch on their car...then i got my vette. Now every time i hear of bad weather or high pollen count or anything else that might get on my vette my stomach gets a little sick. The cali duster helps a lot though

The pollen has been pretty fierce in TN too. But my C6 is VY anyway. So it just looks dusty.
