    Ah! My car is filthy and it is really bothering me. I know that if I wash it, though, it'll be the same color yellow in 30 minutes. Is it worth it?

    I think i must be lucky because everyone is having massive pollen problems but i seem to stay pretty clear of it... I'm not sure if it's the blue that doesn't let you see it or if my daily routine just keeps me away from too many trees...

    that's funny monk.

    you could just spray the car off with water so you don't have to go thru all the work of washing it. but it will just collect again after you finish. i washed mine on sunday, but it was needing a good washing. first bath since early fall.

    The WRB definitely shows the Pollen well. I washed my car sunday and my car is now green. I did get a nice coat of wax on it, so the Pollen should wash off easily.

    I say wash it. I can get away with only washing my blue rex 1 to 2 times a week. That's because I bought one of those screened in tent-like shelters at Wal-Mart that I park under. I live right under some giagantic GA pines which produce enough pollen to feed a small country..... that is of course if small countries ate pollen. :D

    With a good coat of wax you should be able to just hose the pollen off. I love detailing my car so I've got no problem washing every week or two if I've got the means.

    LOLOL! Ok i take it back about not having a polenated car. I guess i spoke a few minutes too soon. I just walked out and my car is now covered in pollen. Don't know how i avoided it until now but all the sudden it's horrible!!! I keep it nice and waxed tho so a little drive should blow it all off...

    i would just spray it with the hose, unless it is extremely dirty.. i have just been spraying mine off every morning so that it does not build up so much pollen that my car turns to yellow...jmo..

    My car is filthy but not really that bad with pollen. I guess that's another perk to a parking garage.

    And it's black.

    Ah ha! another benefit of having a yellow car... to bad my windows are tinted and ruins it :( I find that the best you can do is keep it clean and just hose it off as much as you can...
