Pollen Everywhere! But Does It Damage Your Paint?
If you’ve noticed a yellowish tint on your car’s surface recently, you’re not alone. With pollen season in full swing, many of us are dealing with the aftermath of the pollen onslaught. While the yellow coating may look harmless, it can actually have damaging effects on your car’s paint.
Pollen, when viewed under a microscope, has tiny thorns that help it stick to surfaces. The real danger, however, lies in its acidity. The acidity in pollen can damage your car’s paint, and when combined with water, it can deteriorate your car’s paint over time.
To prevent this damage, it’s important to remove pollen from your car’s surface as often as possible. If left on your car’s surface, the pollen can cling to the paint’s pores and cause damage like premature rust and fading.
One way to make washing pollen off your car easier is with protective sealants or paint protection options like our Ceramic Shield wash. This adds layers of protection between your car’s paint and outside elements, reducing the chances of pollen damaging your car’s surface.
