Pollen, I hate you!

Location: East TN, in the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Time: Spring.

On a sunny, breezy day, you can sit outside and watch clouds of pollen and little seeds go drifting through the air. Aside from making thousands with allergies (like me) sick every year, it coats everything with a layer of yellow/green pollen.

It's useless to try keeping your car clean for around a month, as it'll just get coated again the next day. Just try to keep it covered or garaged, and wait it out.

Here are some pix. My car is a Civic with Magnesium Metallic Grey paint. In the "night" pic I drew a "T" with my finger to illustrate how thick the pollen can get.

We have the same problem in South Louisiana. I hate washing the car only for it to be covered in pollen the next day.
 
I'm in East Tennessee as well. As an example of the extremes of pollen, my BLACK truck gets a good coating in the garage when the garage door is up. Got out my blower and created yellow dust clounds in the garage and driveway. Pollen is why I got a California Duster. It takes 2 minutes max to go over the truck and remove the pollen.
