I live in NC, and apparently this spring literally has the most pollen ever recorded in the states history. I mean it's ridiculous how much it is.

My main question is whether its worth washing the car every week or two even with the pollen levels this high for next couple months? Should I just do a water rinse off and not worry about actually washing it for the time being? Any products that you guys use that do a great job repelling/rejecting the pollen from sticking or anything?

I would assume yes, to prevent it piling and caking up too much, but would like to hear thoughts.
I do not have a garage for the car so it stays outside for right now (unfortunately)

PS: I do still get a tiny bit of pollen inside the car, even when I don't drive it or open the doors at all. Any good ways to prevent this?

I have personally used Swiffer dusters on pollen when I get back into the garage. They seem to be electorstatically charged so you barely have to have it touch the surface (I have ceramic coating and Xpel). 3 minutes later, just throw away the duster and use a new one next time.

But if you don't have a garage, I would probably just let it pile up and rinse it off every few days until pollen season is over, then start washing again. Washing it frquently is just a waste of time unless you need it looking clean for a specific drive.

No help on the inside stuff, cars are not designed to be airtight, so it's just going to be a thing for a while.

Is it your daily? If not, a car cover might be your answer. Also to your PS, have you changed the cabin filter recently?
