New paint job! A bit out of ordinary but original!

What do you think??

Yep, that's pollen. The amount this year is crazy. Can't wash the car cause it'll be covered within the next hour.

Yep it’s a crazy year for the pollen in Southern Ontario too. I wash the car and the water is green on the initial soak down.

And your not kidding about how long it takes to cover the car again. I have never seen it this bad. Like you said.....within an hour the car has a green hue. It blows arsepipe big time!!!

Same in the states, I hand washed my Black truck yesterday, and had to go through a car wash in Watertown, because I couldn’t take my yellow truck today

It is absolutely Crazy this year. You wash the car and the next morning its covered in a yellow/green coating. I have never seen anything like it in over 30 years....Not too sure what's going on this year. I was standing beside a mature pine tree the other day when a gust of wind came, The tree let out a huge billow of the yellow stuff.....

Get a California Duster, as long as your car is waxed (or coated in SI02) it will remove the pollen in about a minute

Man, I do not say much about stuff like this, and yes if you "know what you are doing" but F-that, no mop is getting anywhere near my car

It’s not a “mop” it is a small brush like tool with long super soft paraffin infused yarn like “bristles” that barely touch your paint if used properly

Works wonderfully for pollen

By the way, which part of Québec are you at? I'm from Beauport, now part of Québec City proper, but I left for California a long while ago

Couldn't imagine having to deal with long winters anymore! But I go visit family from time to time.

Best,

Geoff
