Pollen

Pollen seems to really stick to my car. I don't even know when it gets a chance to do this because my car is parked in doors most of the time. How do you guys avoid this problem.

Just keep some quick detailer in your car and clean off the spots when you see them, or move to the desert.

Having a good sealant on the car helps it to not stick so easily and to wash off easier. I have Menzerna FMJ on the wife's car right now and Blackfire Wet Diamond on Black Betty to do a little unscientific comparison of longevity.

A couple of good QDs that you might want to try are Zaino Z6 and Chemical Guys Speed Wipe. Both QDs have anti static properties that will slightly reduce the amount of dust, pollen, etc buildup.

We've got pollen here too

Not much you can do about it at all. Sticks to wax.
