Pollen-Proofing Your Vehicle: Strategies for a Cleaner Spring Drive
Spring in Florida means heavy pollen that coats vehicles in a layer of yellow dust. Pollen is not just unsightly; it can also etch into paint if left too long.
Wash Frequently During Pollen Season
Pollen is abrasive. When it sits on the paint and gets wet, it can etch into the clear coat. Wash your vehicle regularly during peak pollen months.
Use Proper Technique
Rinse thoroughly before washing to remove loose pollen. Use the two-bucket method and clean microfiber towels to avoid scratching.
Apply Protection
Wax or ceramic coating creates a barrier that makes pollen easier to wash off and helps protect the paint underneath.
Do Not Forget the Interior
Pollen enters through vents and open windows. Interior detailing removes pollen from surfaces and air vents.
