How to Keep Your Car Clean During Pollen Season in Florida

Pollen season in Florida can be brutal, leaving a fine yellow-green dust coating your vehicle almost daily. Not only does pollen make your car look dirty, but it can also damage your paint and affect your interior if left unchecked. At Road Hog Detailing, we know how frustrating it is to keep your car clean during peak pollen season. Here are some simple and effective ways to protect your car from pollen buildup.

1. Wash Your Car Regularly

Pollen contains tiny, abrasive particles that can scratch your paint if wiped off dry. The best way to prevent this is by washing your car frequently to remove pollen before it sticks.

✔ Use a gentle hand wash or a rinse-less wash to remove pollen safely.
✔ Avoid using a dry towel to wipe pollen off, as this can cause micro-scratches.
✔ Wash at least once a week during peak pollen season.

2. Apply a Wax or Sealant

A wax or paint sealant adds a protective barrier between your paint and pollen. This makes it easier to rinse pollen off and prevents it from bonding to the surface.

✔ Spray wax or sealants work great for quick protection.
✔ A high-quality wax or ceramic coating lasts longer and provides extra defense.

3. Use a Quick Detailer Spray

A quick detailer spray is a fast and effective way to remove light pollen buildup between washes. These sprays help prevent scratches while adding a slick surface that makes pollen slide off easier.

✔ Keep a microfiber towel and detailer spray in your car for touch-ups.
✔ Use light pressure to avoid grinding pollen into the paint.

4. Keep Windows & Vents Clean

Pollen doesn’t just affect the exterior—it finds its way into your car’s vents and interior. If left unchecked, it can cause allergies and create a dusty mess inside your vehicle.

✔ Wipe down your dashboard and interior surfaces regularly.
✔ Change your cabin air filter to reduce pollen buildup inside the car.
✔ Park in a garage or shaded area when possible.
