Default Ideas on Green Martian Dust (Spring Pollen)

Okay; before I go any further, let me just say I'm going to need therapy before Spring is over. Never owning a black car before, I never truly paid much attention to spring pollen. However, the pollen seems to collect on my car in mere minutes after it's washed. I know I can't dust it off each day because it will scratch my clear coat.

Outside of a daily wash, can anyone offer any thoughts on how to combat the "green martian dust"? If not; how about recommending a good therapist!!

Thanks!

i see guys at car shows using "The California Car Duster" on cars with paint jobs that cost more than my whole car to remove the pollen. i dont think it will scratch your clear.

Good wax and California duster works but when it is real bad not much you can do.I have Kona Blue, just as bad as black.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually have a California Duster, but it's still in the vinyl cover.

If you guys recommend it, then I'll go with it. Thanks again for your responses!

I bought mine at Autozone, but have seen them at just about every local parts store.

Now we're getting somewhere with the suggestions. Finally something I can identify with! LOL!

The funny thing is; I would love to try to figure out how to create such an environment. Oh well, on a positive note; the green martian dust won't last forever, but the enjoyment of a beautiful black stang will! Gotta learn to roll with it!
