Pollen on Vehicles – What’s the Problem?
Sure, a light dusting of pollen can be annoying-- it's tough to blow off and brushing it just seems to fill the air before it settles right back down on your paint job. Dark-colored or black vehicles in particular will show off a coating of pollen. Since its grains are microscopic, pollen is unlikely to scratch your vehicle’s paint job. So, unless you’re heavy-handed while wiping, you are unlikely to leave any visible scratches.
The problem though is the acidity in pollen, which is bad news for your vehicle’s paint, especially when combined with water. When pollen mixes with water, it can leave light, but visible etching and stains in your clear coat. Along with potential damage to your paint, pollen can also find its way into your cabin, potentially triggering allergies for both you and your passengers.
