Pollen on you car?

Do you wipe it off daily...it's that time of the year...all paint jobs have a yellow accent called "pollen" dont you hate it?

My car looks pebble beige metallic w/custom pine tree pollen dots....

Sup william,

Yes, very much so. Here in Florida we have it the worst out of everyone. It's 87 degree's and the pollen is in the air like mad. I just washed my car 2 days ago and it already has a nice yellow layer

I hate it. I bought a Car Cover that I put on as soon as I get home. It only takes about 30 seconds to put on and take off. Cleaning the car cover is the hard part, I gotta figure out an easy way to do it once a week. But my car is still pretty shiny from when I washed it 3 days ago.

I used to live in San Antonio, TX, and between the Live Oak pollen, Mountain Cedar pollen, dust and dirty rains, you're always driving around with a dirty car. At least they don't rust down there...

I just saw my first puddle today with pollen on it down in ATL. I almost started to cry. My baby is going to get this yellow crap all over her and make it look like someone ****ed a powder on her. This is the first pollen season with my car.

Is it me?...

Or does anyone else's car seem to gather the most dust and pollen on the rear bumper. Yes metallic97gxe pollen is everywhere and I have to wipe it down daily (though I do that anyways ). But after a little while of driving it all comes off except for the rear bumper. Anyone else?

This is do to the wind tunnel your car creates. Just like the tunnel I draft in when I am on long trips behind semi's. No dirt will come off b/c there is very little constant wind.

dust just "settles" there on the rear bumper all the time......it is the spoiler making this happen or what who knows but I know what you are talking about it settles there all the time...

All you guys bow down....

...I live across the street from a bee farm.

My car and my roommates' cars have more pollen on them than I've ever seen. And this is constant, it never lets up. Fortunately it comes off pretty easily, but it really sucks that the day after we wash our cars they're dirty again.
