Even garaged it is a problem. Soon the pollen should ease up. I simply use my California Car Duster quite often.

I need to pick up one of those car dusters. The pollen here leaves a noticeable yellow blanket over your freshly washed and waxed max and my car is kept in the garage at all times unless I'm at work or the gym.

There is not much you can do about these pollen during the spring/summer time. They will stick to your car one way or the other. Best bet is pick up one of the california duster or the car cover.

the california duster is your best bet, just remember to do it in the shade and when your car is cool or it will leave wax streaks all over it.

California Car Duster is my best friend.

And doesn't it say on the duster that the dirtier it gets, the better it works?

You get a couple of days out of a wash!!!!!!!!!

15 Min after I wash my car it is covered in pollen up here

it drives me nuts, I can wash my car, and then run my finer across it 15 min later and there is a huge white dust streek.

Yes the dirtier it is the better it works.

You could gently hand wash with a mild soap.. I bet the fibers on yours is all black isn't it?

Same here except it's tree sap? It looks like a small yellow dot on the paint that comes off but leaves a residue behind. I see these lil mfers "magically" appear on my paint almost right after I wash my car. Is it tree sap or pollen? Either way it's annoying but what are you gonna do right? I guess garage it or cover it. Oh well.....

Just take a cloth towel and wipe down your car before you get in it. There is nothing to prevent the pollen from getting on there, you are just able to get it off small amounts at a time.
