Been there done that. If it's not cleaned off good enough it will start growing. It will be done in may in NC. Then sap. Those wipers are streaking.

Pollen sucks. It sucks on cars, and it sucks when I breathe it. (I get really bad allergies, lol)
Cabin filters are nice for allergies.
Yep, same deal here. We don't have regular snow, and surely enough of the "yellow snow" to last a lifetime this spring!
But without pollen....
This is why I have white auto's!
white is the best color.
I dislike the pollen for the reason the OP posted, though generally it comes off easily with a strong rinse/spray of water.
Living in the metropolis of Buies Creek in/near the sandhills of eastern part of the state, I would expect much of that is pine pollen. It really lays down a coat of yellowish powder when it gets going strong. Now, if you get pine pitch (spray or spots) on the vehicle, removing it is another matter.
What bothers me more though is what it usually does to my sinuses. This year with all the rain the pollen is roaring. But, between the Zyrtec/ZyrtecD and generic Flonase I seem to be staying ahead(knock wood) of it this year. I really thought that's what this post was about before I saw it was in the photo section and saw the pic.

Sayjac, do you smoke? I know when I used to smoke I would have sinus issues all the time. When I quit they disapeared.
try a white car...looks like it was highlighted or something

I don't think so. I've owned two white ones, two black ones, and a variety of others (burgundy red, mid-blue, silver, gold, etc.). White just shows other types of dirt, particularly the darker stuff. And on top of that, ANYTHING with a tendency to stain will be there, and visible, forever. Purple berry bird poo probably stains black paint the same as it does white paint, you just can't see it on the black paint. Pollen hoses off in seconds. And black has that classic look. White cars, even "upscale" ones, look to me like they belong to the government...

It RAINED last night: and cars are CLEAN again!! (for how long idk)
white cars: not much fun with detailing - doesn't show shine/gloss very well, and can never enjoy doing anything with them - hiding pollen better may be the only advantage.

They say the pollen is worse this year than it has been since record keeping began in 1997. A quick trip through the car wash keeps the vehicles looking presentable. It has even challenged the drugs this year....... lol

I just read a local article stating pollen is about 10x what it typically is around here. The count was 8000. Typical is 800-1000.
