Pollen sux!

What's up with all the pollen? You wash your car and in no time it is covered in pollen again.

Don't they sell Griot's Best In Spring One Step Anti-Pollen Treatment up there? Goes on after clay bar, polish, paint sealant and Best Show Wax. By the time you are done, no more pollen, and its summer.

Doesn't help too much. Washed my car, pulled it straight into the garage. Next day, yellow pollen still all over it. So much in the air right now here in the NE.

I have heard it is high due to the long cold winter...supposedly triggers trees to produce more pollen in a short spring.

It is a bad time for black cars, my 991 is in the garage and needs a wash badly, but I'm not rushing because I know it will get a dusting of pollen right away.
All of my work fleet is black and they look really gross right now.
I've got a huge box of goodies coming from Autogeek this week (in time for Spring detail on the 991) The fleet gets the touchless car wash treatment and a quick detail spray.
My toy cars always see a full spa treatment by yours truly

Garages are almost useless right now for keeping pollen off cars. I washed my 991 C4 and P4S in my driveway last weekend and immediately put them in the garage and by then, each time, they already were coated with pollen. Then, of course, there's the pollen that collects on the cars while parked in the garage. Just one of those things that goes with this time of year...

Sometimes when detailing i don't get all steps done in one day. The next day I use leaf blower to remove garage dust/pollen off of car before proceeding. I know I need to spend more time cleaning my garage but its just not as much fun.

recently saw black and agate 991s for sale parked next to each other at dealer , covered with same amt moderate pollen on the glass

the black car looked pollen-dusted dirty " yellow " as expected ...you couldn't see the pollen on the agate even up close as the tiny bronze metallic flakes in the agate paint shimmers to camo the pollen...i.e., if you wiped off the glass only, the car would from a few feet away, look like it was just washed

Guys, looking at it another (convoluted) way might make it better to swallow.
No pollen=> no plants and trees
No plants and trees => more dry ugly landscapes with dust/cement => less pretty areas to enjoy the flat six wail with the top down/windows open
Therefore Pollen=not so bad thing?
Just some basic equations
