Question Georgia Vert Owners:

How are you fairing with keeping this horrendous pollen out of your car? And cleaned off the top? My dash is covered in pollen... bah.

Well I'm not in Georgia but up here in North Carolina it's a challenge as well.
I keep a box of swiffer cleaners in the car to wipe down the seats and dash. They work great.
On the roof, I use a sticky lint roller. You can them anywhere real cheap. Just roll it across a few times, usually use up two or three sheets with each cleaning.
Then on the weekends, it gets a full wash to flush the yellow crap out of all the nooks and crannies that I can't get daily.

Yeah, Springtime in the South is two months of yellow dust and sneezing everywhere!!

Have fun

How often are you actually WASHING your whole car? I'm tempted to wait until after it rains here, cause then maybe the chances of keeping my car clean would be better.

I was hoping my weekend trip was gonna be a little more pollen-free. Guess not.
Hopefully it'll rain up there today or tomorrow.

Since I only drive the vert on sunny days, (I use the wagon on rainy days and leave the NBC in the garage), I give it a full wash about every other week. It really depends on how dirty it gets. In between the full washes I use Zaino Z6 detailing spray and clean microfiber cloths to wipe down the whole car and remove the dust that has accumulated. It works great and keeps the paint looking new and shiny. I use my shopvac with the brush attachment to vac the dirt and dust off of the top. Takes about 20 minutes to do and I drive away with a spiffy clean vert every time. Monthly I'll do a full interior detail and condition the leather and all interior surfaces.

Just a little TLC will keep your NBC looking and feeling like new for a very long time.

I just keep hosing my car down and wiping the interior with my mcguire wipes.
