Pollen

[Ricorocks]

Pollen seems to be like a magnet to my car. Tried CG's "Speed Wipe", claims anti-static, but not as good as V7 for beauty. Alternative detailers, that are good + makes pollen less attractive? I've seen pollen etch the roof, from just the wind.

Detailers that have more synthetic properties will do better (but never perfect) with pollen compared to carnauba.

IMO, Sonax, Optimum ID come to mind. I have even mixed Collinite 845 and Pinnacle Spray wax with some success.

You sound like you have a pollen problem as well.. I can wash & apply after wash or detailer. Take a drive & you can see the yellow streaks, or write on the hood or roof, in pollen.

I was thinking it's static charge car to pollen. Maybe not so

Synthetic perhaps slicker & pollen does not stick as much.

Thanks for the suggestions worth a shot!!

Try this for a mental picture...pollen (each little particle) has a bunch of tiny little spikes so they can 'stick' to whatever and then can grow.

When the surface is super slick and non-grabby, those little suckers just slide off.

Too funny

I've read FK425 has good anti-static properties but to be honest I think the act of buffing creates a static charge that will attract dust no matter what.

What is FK425 could not find in the store
