I swear I just washed these things!!

...and now they're all covered in tree semen. Yup, it's that time of the year again.

Probably won't even bother doing a real wash on any of them over the next few weeks, but I may rinse off the pollen from time to time.

I hope you didn't get semen all over yourself when you washed them.

I washed my car yesterday, went outside today and my car was already filthy from the tree sap and stuff like that, not so much the pollen.

Ditto, to LeSabreUltra: We had that disgusting green film come out on Saturday. I'd recently washed, so I just rinsed it off yesterday, and I came out this morning: green dust all over again.

Just got slammed with it down here too. One nice thing about my car's color I'm noticing though..is it blends right in! If it didn't look like a LOAD of dust...I don't think I'd notice it but on the windows.

Nasty stuff though..jees. *dang* horny trees.

I know what you mean about color. My poor truck is the worst, it just looks more and more apocalyptic every day. And the trees just keep skeeting all over the place. At night with the headlights on, you can see the pollen in the air. It looks like it's snowing.

Just detailed the interior Saturday, then washed, clayed, polished and waxed the '01 yesterday. Finished up as the sun set then got up this morning and the car is yellow'd. Looks worse where you are, but around here will get that way here in another week or so. :(

So much for whoring her out this afternoon...
Might snap a couple anyway, but meh...


Those projectors still look sweet though :wink:

Yep, the good old "yellow snow". My car's covered in the junk also. Everybody's hosing their cars off to see in the mornings. This year seems really bad. I don't recall last year being like this.

It rained lightly last night, so having just waxed it the water beaded up nicely...then proceeded to collect the tree skeet and left me little globs of yellow spots all over the car super...I only barely enjoyed my weekend's work for a day. :roll:

We just returned from the south. Our Tahoe is covered in it. I was hoping it'd blow off on the 1,000 mile drove home, but nope! In a few more weeks MI will have it's own pollen to add to what's already on it.
