I hate pollen
It's that time of season where my car constantly looks yellow from the outside and inside.. Makes me want to put my car in storage. I dread cleaning my car all the time. Anyone else annoyed with pollen?

LOL I had the same problem when I had my white m3, I got the jerez black m3 in 2013 hoping to mask some of the dirt and yellow debris but NOPE, you can't hide from the yellow stuff

If it's just pollen, get a California car duster. It makes cleaning pollen off an otherwise clean car so much easier.

My M3 is in my garage most of the time for 2-3 weeks until I drive her, even with the door closed, this yellow pollen shit gets all over the car; I'm with you on the hate.

I got no love for pollen, tree sap, bird droppings, etc.
Just be glad your paint is not matte...

If the car never got even slightly damp, some pollens can be blown off with an air blaster/hi-speed leaf blower. Turns out pollens are generally very spherical and will blow off easier than other types of dirt on the car. The pine pollen here will blow off as you drive down the street if the humidity is low!

Absolute car killer. It's seriously a race to dry and cover my car every time I wash it. I also appreciate the sneezing fits, itchy eyes, and coughing that it provides me. Man, this thread really made me realize how much I HATE POLLEN!!

Pollen sucks donkey balls. You can use the California Car Duster, and it works pretty well...so long as it doesn't RAIN on the pollen you got on your car. Then you got this nice little layer of yellowish-green mud!!! |

I live in California and have no idea what a California Car Duster is!
First time I heard it I thought it was some sort of 80's contraption for cleaning residual white powders out of the interior... |
