    Is this Pollen?

    Had light showering rain last night which beaded up outside. Next morning I go out to car and its covered in spots... Is this pollen or something else? I will be doing a wash once I get home...

    I would say yes I had the same thing the other day. My car was covered in yellow but after a light rain that was not enough to rinse the pollen off just pooled the pollen in the water beads then dried.

    It definitely looks like the pollen residue left after a light rain.

    Yes, and likely other wind deposited dust (imo).

    Yep, I saw those larger dots on my hood the other day after some light rain. The rain just brought the pollen together and looked like big dots on the hood. Washed right off though.

    Looks like pollen. We are past the worst of pollen season in Maryland now. I only use 2 bucket wash on that stuff. I treat it as if it were sand...

    Nope. Maybe by July the way it's looking out here.
