2 quick questions

1. It's pollen season, and my car is garaged and driven once-twice weekly. Do I need to worry about cleaning the pollen off of it every time I take it out? It is heavily coated with Zaino/Adams products.

2. Dumb question. Other cars in the family are outside cars. I have waterspots on the glass that do not wash away or come out. Windows look dirty at night but are clean. Anything I can do to get these spots out of the glass?

Thanks to the experts who help.

1. No you don't need to clean it everytime. Just wash your car once a week like normal and you'll be good. Unless it rains, then itd be best to go ahead and wash the car.

2. Use #0000 steel wool with glass cleaner as lube in order to remove the spots. Don't use a ton of pressure, but use enough to see them removed.

This. Or try clay bar on the glass. (I'd start with clay, then work to 0000 steel wool) Make sure it's four (4) zeros!

Clay bar is a great idea or any decent cleaner wax on the windows. Wax your windows the same time you wax the car. Waxing the windows has several benefits.

For pollen try a car duster...but...the duster will create swirls that will have to be remedied later with a good polish, but it's a quick solution.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried cleaner wax already. I do have a clay bar and will do that next. Thanks to all!
