    Get a YELLOW car!!! LOL!

    I have a black truck as my DD and I know your pain!! Our yellow season starts a little earlier than yours and contains a lot more variety of trees and shrubs (being that I live in South Louisiana), so count your blessings!!

    I am not asking because of the car, I am asking because of my head!!

    Where could you move where this is not a problem? Iceland?

    My Honda Element is painted what Honda calls Omni Pearl Blue. Everyone else calls it light green. It sits outside 24/7/365. Doesn't look too bad...but I washed it just after I took this photo, 'cause I still don't want pollen on my car!

    Down here in NC, it's pollen season for a full 2 months generally. The "non-visible" pollen that starts allergy season begins in late Feb/early March, the pine pollen (yellow pollen that gets everywhere) arrives in late March and doesn't end until early May most of the time. It's terrible.

    A non static wax or sealant will help minimize the yellow from the pollen

    OHHH NOOOO!!!

    More stuff to get...LOL

    So what do you do? You cant wash it every day..

    Leave it alone...or water it down..

    and then complain about water spots

    P.S.- I'm off for 9 days starting May 6...hopefully it lows down so that I can begin my spring prep
    I have a 09 black rav and 14 polish metallic Pilot

    Re: When does it stop?

    A non static lsp makes it harder for the pollen to stick to. There's no way to 100% avoid it but it helps. I have a coating on my daily driver which sits outside and I dont really have a issue with pollen sticking to it.
