Default Pollen count in Georgis Sucks

This is what my car looks like from leaving it outside overnight. Covered in pollen. I rinsed and blow dried it last evening, got up today and this is how it is from sitting overnight.
The pollen count is extremely high here in Georgia and will only get worse the next few weeks. You guys in the south know what I am talking about. Pollen Pollen everywhere.Yuck
I keep my garden hose hooked up and rinse it daily then blow dry it.

That's a very light covering compared to what I get in Dallas. If use the windshield wipers while it's dry I can make a small pollen cloud when I turn them on.

Ha Ha, no I just use a wet/dry vac and set it on blow. Faster than wiping it dry.

One of the cons of living in the south. While at work, my truck was coated in the stuff...

The pollen hasn't gotten to me in VA yet, but it will.

Right now we've got the pedals from all of the Cherry Blossom trees covering everything.

Uh...why not properly wash your car, then use a california car duster when it becomes covered in pollen? Oh and like tacomonkey said, it's much worse here in Dallas.

I feel your pain. I washed my car yesterday, knowing it would probably be pointless, it was. When I went out this morning it didnt look like I had touched it. Black makes it look so much worse. My car stays green this time of year. I try and rinse it off a few times a week though.
