Is there a product I can use to keep pollen from sticking to my car or maybe just blowing off when driving?

 

For those not from Georgia, everything gets coated with yellow pine pollen for severall weeks in late March or early April each year. All cars become yellow cars after sitting outside uncovered for several hours(actually, everything turns yellow; roads, roofs, you if you stand in one place too long). In fact, if you wash your car around this time of year, you'll find pollen collecting on the bonnet and boot about 5 minutes after you finish wiping them off with your MF towel or doing a touch-up with California Car Duster. Fortunately, there is only so much pollen in the pine trees and most of it should be "blown-out" within a week or so.

Back to the question at hand: The best you can hope for is putting on a good coat of wax and keeping your car washed which "should" make "dusting" or rinsing the pollen off the car a bit easier. Some will blow-off by itself when you drive, but not all of it.

I find that most of the pollen that remains on the car can either be dusted off with a California Car Duster or, if you have easy access to a hose, rinsed-off with a steady stream of water from a hose without a nozzle, followed up by a quick wipe down with a large Microfiber towel, and then tuck it in the garage.

 

ya ive been doin the above on mines, but being yellow only my soft top shows the pollen.... it sucks when ur car is covered then it just drizzles out side, then its like 10x harder to get off....

 

Ugh.... GA is terrible with pollen. I was stationed in south GA (Valdosta) for almost a year. I got there in March 03 and within a few days I found out that I was allergic to the stuff. Up until then, I had never had any types of pollen allergies. It literally coats everything in sight. You might as well keep the car in the garage for a month because there is noway around it.

 

NC is pretty bad too--good thing we've had rain the past few days--it seems to keep the pollen down some. I keep a pack of static dust pads in my car and when it gets real bad I just lightly go over the paint and take the pollen off. But normally the wind just blows it off once you start going.

 

I think that its bad just about any where in the south. Here in TN its just as frustrating. I washed and waxed my baby this past weekend and she is covered in pollen.

It's a New England thing too. Unfortunately, the pollen has a stickyness to it that keeps it from blowing off easily. All I could suggest is to keep a good, thick, microfiber and detailing spray in the trunk, and hit the areas when needed.

 

gotta add Mississippi to the group. Pollen here is horrendous

 

Maryland is pretty bad now, too... Tree pollen.

Keep the dust cover on at night if it's outside (and not going to rain).
I find the California Car Duster perfect for pollen removal, but I did just do the Spring Cleaning Zaino Treatment a week or two ago, with a topcoat of P21S, it makes it SO much easier to keep clean.
