Pollen on my car, in my nose.....in my...
eyes, it is everywhere!!! I live in North Carolina and it is that dreaded time of the year, severe pollen!!!! I have a black Z and i can not even finish washing and wiping down before it is yellow again. Is pollen abrasive and what is the best way to "wipe" away once I am in the garage? Duster, spray and mf towels, or???? If I use a duster and remove the pollen, will it be OK to still use the duster once the pollen has gone from the air? First year with a black car and pollen!!

You guys are a couple of months ahead of us with that nasty yellow pollen. I have always used the California Duster to get rid of that. Just shake it out. As long as your car is well prepped and not dirty that stuff glides right off.

I would think the duster would do the trick and follow with detail spray. I just got back from a week of golf in Southern Pines and could not believe the pollen. It really makes a mess on the cars, and as you said just about everywhere.

Thanks, I have been using the water hose to spray off what I can and then QD with soft mf towels. is this better than actually washing with soap and mitt??

I am about an hour from Southern Pines and the "Pine trees" there will overtake you or your golf game!!

Dealing with the same situation down here in the ATL area. I washed mine last weekend, and parked her in the garage. After about 2 hours there was a good layer of pollen on her. I was able to get a coat of wax down by then, and now I just hose her down before a drive. Doesn't get rid of everything, but it sure helps. I think we are just going to have to deal with it for the next few months.
