Maybe an odd question but pollen removal after washing?

mason mank · Jun 18, 2019

So i washed and waxed the truck this past saturday. I have not driven the truck since washing but due to the time of year it now has a wonderful yellow coat of pollen on it. Whats the easiest/quickest method of removal? Is just a dry microfiber towel over the truck enough? Thanks in advance!

You can try and wipe it off with a baby's butt. All it will do is push the pollen into your top coat and scratch your paint.

Buy some onr, optimum no rinse. And do a rinseless wash.

Never Ever Ever wipe a dry vehicle surface with a dry cloth or towel no matter what kind it is. It will leave small scratches every time!!!! Either use a detail spray, a rinseless wash, or just wash the truck using the 2 bucket method.

Any vehicle that's left outside would require a wash, never a quick detailer or any other dry wipe with just a towel. If it's in the garage and hasn't been driven then a quick detailer can be used to wipe the dust off.

I’d try just rinsing it off with a strong spray then dry as per normal. But I don’t believe I have as much pollen around here as some do

Waterless Wash is your best friend to remove dust and pollen.

I use a California car duster for dust and pollen

Yea the pollen here in Maine sucks the big one :O I just hose it off then dry it

Pollen is some nasty stuff. Looked at through a microscope it looks like briars, or prickers. Can really scratch the surface if not careful.

I use Optimum No Rinse for this. I usually add a cap full to my 4qt sprayer. Makes a great waterless wash, for a great price point.
