I have had to blow it off with the leaf blower before I drive anywhere.

I washed her last night and this morning, she was covered.

We haven't had our pollen arrival in California, yet. Keep in mind when dusting it off that this is what pollen looks like under microscope. Probably best to wash rather than detail spray or waterless wash...

Virginia is about two weeks behind Ga. I was just thinking of this the other day.

I do not mind the pollen on the car as much as I mind it in the engine bay. It is a BEE-otch to remove from all the pulleys!

I'll trade you a few months of Maine salt and sand for a little Georgia pollen!

Not a little, it is bad now, in about 3 weeks you will be driving through a thick yellow haze as you travel down I-20, I am not even kidding. Although I know the sand and salt is a PITA as well. Glad I just waxed last weekend, but the major Paint Correction is going to have to wait a month or so I guess.
