Have no fear, we 'northerners' have this same photo in our gunsights! It'll be here much too soon! Here is central Maryland/Wash DC area already have pollen counts for trees on our TV weather forcasts. Once oak starts, I'll be hiding inside for 3 weeks!
 
Oh yeah.. soon enough here too! By the way, DON'T WIPE THAT STUFF OFF! Hose it off or wash the car, pollen is very abrasive and if you wipe or dust it dry it'll sure as hell scratch the paint.
 
It's turning my black car yellow this time of year. Sorry no pictuers of my dirty car!
Pictures taken only when it shines!
 
My neighbor still hasn't raked up his leaves from the fall and now his trees are crapping all over my cars!

Wow, TY for your reply Leo. I didnt know that but will remember it now. I have "california dry dusted" off previous vehicles before i knew this with duster. :eek:
 
I thought I'd bring back the pollen thread .:D

Both of my cars were covered with it today.

Us northerners just get this stuff a little later than the southerners.

As per Leo's suggestion, I rinsed both cars off with the hose before touching them.

I tried to get a good photo of it:

I'm guessing that pollen is worse but, I'd rinse the ash off right away too.:)

Edit: Oops, I guess rinsing your car off is not an option right now either. I hope things get better down there soon. I've done some testing, at the Ford track in Naples, when the fires were burning down there. It was very scary. Take care.

Actually it wasn't that bad for me, with the green/gold hue in my paint only if I really looked in the reflection could I see the caked on layer of pollen!
 
Does it actually rinse off, it looks kinda sticky! You need to cover your cars bill! :D
 
Not as easily as I had hoped, my windshield was bad so I tried to wash it with the washers, did little to nothing for it!!
