Dam u pollen!!

well right now their is a ridiculous amount of pollen in the air here. i prob had a good 2 or so layers of it on my nice ABM. so i took it to the wash looks great, park it in a different spot at work to see if the bushes and trees nearby were causing it and no, nearly as much was on there today when i left, a nice thick line on the cowl edge and the lines on the rear quarter, argh im hating this time of year, and later on it will be love bug season gonna be washing that front end every day. anyone else having a pollen crisis.

Yay, spring, no longer worrying about the car in snow, but the rally yellow will become pollen orange. I don't remember seeing pollen come down as bad as it does in MD's spring in any of the other states I've lived in...

Should be hitting us in a few months. A clean car will last about 12-24 hours. I hate it

I just came in from shoveling about 4" of white pollen off of the drive! You southerners might as well complain about the "cold" 55 degree weather, too!

No need in wash/wax the ride, it will only turn yellow in just a few hours... Spent a good two to three hours waxing this past weekend just to have yellow spots from the pollen/dew mixture...

I would much rather deal with this crap than snow though... You guys can keep that sh!t...

You must have a good arc and some pressure behind that!
