I spent around 8 hours last Sunday detailing my coupe. I take it to work the next day and by the time I leave it's all covered with pollen and dust. Without scratching the paint, what is the best way to remove it?

 

Without a doubt, Poorboy's Spray and Wipe. This is the main thing that gets me through the pollen season. Spray and Wipe and a few high quality microfibers will do wonders.

As a side note, picus posted a while back that the Spray and Wipe can be used on glass as well. I had never tried that but found just last week that it works wonderfully!

Yea I hate the damn pollen too ... looks horrible on a black G. I use eagle one wipe and shine, works like a charm.

 

A good quick detailer like Spray and Wipe is very good, just make sure you use clean microfiber towels. I fold my towel in fourths and after each section expose a fresh surface. This gives you eight total fresh surfaces from one towel, so you're not continually wiping with a dirty microfiber towel. Use lots of Spray and Wipe and fresh microfiber surface and you'll safely and effectively remove the pollen.

 

I don't think you need to use any kind of spray. Just use a California Car Duster. That's all I do here in NC and we get some wicked pine pollen around this time of year. If your car is a little dirty and you want to clean it, go ahead and use the spray stuff. But if it's just dusty/pollenated, a duster is good enough.

 

same here....I use that Car duster and it works like a charm.

 

^ I agree...cali car duster or even a nice wipe with a clean micro-fiber towel can take care of that. And if you're going through all the trouble of spray and wipe...might as well wash her.

 

because with just wiping guys. that pollen contains sap

 

Hmmm, I am surprised no one has mentioned this... Just drive REALLY, REALLY fast on your way home from work.

 

I get the hose out (free flowing water only) then blow dry
with my blower. Takes me about 7-8 minutes complete and the
best part is. No chance on putting fine scratches in their with
shine/m-f's touching paint.

 

Definitely Spray & Wipe - and yes, it works great on glass.

 

Also try Optimum No Rinse as a quick detailer. Great product and it leaves no streaks.

 

Huh? Not anywhere I have lived
