🌿🚗 Pollen season is here, and while it may seem harmless, letting pollen sit on your vehicle can actually affect your paint, visibility, and even your air quality inside the car. Here are a few simple ways to protect your vehicle this season:
🧼 Wash your car more frequently
Pollen can stick to your paint and combined with heat and moisture, can damage the finish over time. Regular washes help protect your exterior and keep your vehicle looking clean.
✨ Apply wax or ceramic spray
A protective layer helps prevent pollen from sticking as heavily to the surface, making it easier to rinse off and reducing buildup.
🌬️ Replace or check your cabin air filter
Your cabin filter traps pollen, dust, and allergens from entering your vehicle. A dirty filter can reduce airflow and make allergy symptoms worse while driving.
🌳 Avoid parking under trees
Trees constantly drop pollen, sap, leaves, and debris this time of year, which can quickly coat your vehicle and damage paint if left sitting too long.
🚫 Avoid wiping dry pollen off your vehicle
Dry pollen acts like tiny abrasive particles. Wiping it without rinsing first can leave behind small scratches and swirl marks in your paint.
A little extra care during pollen season can help keep your vehicle protected and looking its best! -TWBS
