Pollen not just an annoyance, but it can cause damage to your paint!

Updated: Jul 1, 2023


As the weather warms up and springtime rolls around, so does the inevitable arrival of pollen. While many people think of pollen as an annoyance that affects their allergies, it's also important to consider how it can affect your car's paint. Pollen is not good for your car's paint.


Pollen is a natural substance that plants use to reproduce. It's produced in large quantities during the spring and summer months and is spread by the wind, bees, and other insects. While pollen is a vital part of the ecosystem, it can wreak havoc on your car's paint. Here's why:


Pollen is acidic: Pollen contains acids that can eat away at your car's paint. Over time, this can cause the paint to fade or even peel.


Pollen is abrasive: Pollen particles are small and jagged. When they land on your car's paint, they can scratch the surface. Over time, this can lead to a dull or uneven appearance.


Pollen is sticky: Pollen can be very sticky, especially when it's wet. When it lands on your car's paint, it can be difficult to remove. If left untreated, pollen can leave behind unsightly stains and discoloration.


So, what can you do to protect your car's paint from pollen? The answer is having your car detailed by a professional or if you feel capable yourself. Detailing is a process that involves cleaning and protecting your car's exterior surfaces. Here are some steps that auto detailers take to protect your car from pollen: Wash your car: The first step in protecting your car from pollen is to wash it regularly. This will remove any pollen that has already landed on your car's surface.


Get a ceramic coating. A ceramic coating can help create a barrier between your car's paint and pollen. The ceramic coating bonds directly to your vehicle's paint. We offer one year, three year, and five year ceramic coatings.


Wax/Sealant: Applying a Sealant or a Wax to your car creates a protective layer between the pollen and your car's paint job.


Besides your allergies your car's paint can suffer too during pollen season, but there are steps you can take to protect it. Auto detailing is an important part of maintaining your car's appearance and protecting your investment. By washing, having a ceramic coating applied or applying a sealant/wax, you can keep your car looking great, even during the dreaded pollen season.
