Living here in Massachusetts, with what seems to be a never ending pollen season, my car is covered with the green stuff every day. I have found that using the foam gun, sheet rinse, leaf blower dry, gets my car sparkling clean again; no touch, no mitt, ten minutes, shiny car. It works great for the pollen and dust when you want to get the car clean fast. I use the blower cuz w/o using a mitt, if there is any pollen (I don't see any), I don't want to take a chance on scratching with a MF. Very happy I made the investment. Wasn't sure about it till I got hit with all the pollen.
