One thing to keep in mind - for all intents and purposes, pollen sitting on your car isn't going to damage it (but it looks terrible). Wiping it off the surface will scratch the bee-jebus out of it... Unfortunately black shows the most, but the good news... You have a camaro and it looks great no matter what

Love my paint. Never understood all the negative C5 paint comments. But then, I can only comment on MY car.

Pollen is just something i learn to live with... And I don't think our paint sucks- it's just not as durable as some. (Coming from the person who barely tapped their door on the garage wall and it chipped the paint. I mean barely...) You just learn preventative measures to conserve your paint!

California Duster. If it's good enough for Junkman, it's good enough for me.
