What’s the Deal With Pollen?
If you’re lucky enough not to experience seasonal allergies, you might not have noticed the pesky, powdery seeds that pollute the wind each spring are back—but your car certainly has.
But what’s Pollen, Anyways? To make a long story short: it’s the circle of life. Pollen is the powdery substance produced by seed plants when spring comes around. Bees transfer it from plant to plant, providing the pollination services that lead to blooming bouquets of fresh flowers on the ground.
Great for the earth. Not-so-great for your car.
HEADLIGHTS & WINDSHIELDS
Pollen accumulation on your headlights and windshields can make things tough to see. And turning on your wipers only smudges the situation. Especially when driving through the rain, make sure your headlights and windows are clear as can be.
ZIPS Tip: Frequent car washes using a synthetic wax product, like Z HOT WAX, will promote a protective barrier on your vehicle’s surfaces, making removal of dirt and pollen much easier.
INSIDE YOUR RIDE
If pollen is in the air, it’s probably getting pulled into the cabin of your ride. And if you suffer from allergies, you’re sure to be sneezing all season long! Keep soft surfaces (carpets, fabric seats, etc.) as clean as you can to prevent allergens from riding shotgun.
ZIPS Tip: Regularly vacuum and wipe down your car's interior surfaces. Fun fact: every car wash at ZIPS includes complimentary use of turbo vacuums, microfiber towels, and surface cleaner!
SURFACE SCRATCHES
Letting pollen and dirt sit on your vehicle’s paint job is a recipe for disaster. Then, letting the rain cake it on and allowing it to dry only makes things worse. When it comes to surface contaminants that can scratch your clear coat, prevention is the best course of action.
ZIPS Tip: The latest in car wash chemistry is called Graphene. It’s the next evolution of ceramic wax. Try our PREMIER wash which includes Graphene-Ceramic Fusion X - a blend of both products - for an anti-stick surface that lasts!
RUINS YOUR PAINT JOB: Pollen quickly coats the outside of your car, leaving buildup that can chip and rust.
ZIPS Tip: Wash frequently and use a wax coating to preserve your car’s paint.
CLOGS YOUR FILTERS: By floating into your car’s mechanics, pollen clogs up air filters and ruins the air quality of your car’s interior by reducing airflow.
ZIPS Tip: Check and change your filters frequently to make sure you’re breathing clean, unfiltered air.
SMUDGES YOUR WINDSHIELD: No one likes a grimy windshield. Pollen clings to the surface of your car, weakening your visibility and giving your wipers a run for their money.
ZIPS Tip: Give your windshield wipers some extra TLC and make sure your wiper fluid is filled and functioning properly.
