So it's that lovely time of year with pollen counts shooting sky high, cars magically changing colors and mowing through gallons and gallons of washer fluid. Living in a city nicknamed "city in a forest" the pollen here is absolutely something else, I have to run my windshield washer in the morning and afternoon to clear the pollen and our white cars are now shades of pale yellow.
I almost went through my usual drive through car wash last weekend and the weekend prior but stopped myself last minute thinking 'what is the point? its going to be coated again tomorrow'. Well come to find out pollen is actually acidic and while in dry dusty form it is fine, as soon as it gets wet it turns acidic - just fantastic as the regular washer use has probably wetted the roof and the rear washer gets the back hatch and bumper nice and wet with the rundown.
Learn something new every day, here I have been just letting pollen run its course in an attempt to save a buck while it's eating away at my paint.
