    How much pollen is to much to wipe off with UQD??

    Re: Pollen

    20 pollen particulates per square inch is considered too much.

    Can you count each pollen particulate in some over some random places on your car about a square inch in size and then we can tell you exactly if there's too much pollen on the car or if you're within the recommended limits.


    Close-up pictures of the counted sections would help also.

        I was just kidding about the 20 particulates per square inch...



        If it's loose pollen, like loose dust, then just use common sense, plenty of lubricant and extra microfibers.

            I just did mine today, and it was pretty bad. The MF towel I used nearly turned BLACK, and I only did the hood and trunk. I only did that because a bird managed to have diarrhea on those areas.

              Yeah, best thing to do is probably wash your car if you Microfibers are turning black.

              Better to be safe than sorry.

                Let's just say it hasn't been a good day overall It started with the QD, the bee vomit and swirl installation, and it just went downhill from there, non car related.

                  sorry to hear about that, at least we are hear to help you with the car related stuff

                  If all you did was swirl out one area or one panel then we can help you fix it in no time.

                  The next time you get a chance to wash your car, go over the affected area with ScratchX 2.0 or SwirlX and this should at least make some improvement.

                  During the wash is probably the best time to ge the remiander of the bee stuff off and then you could even clay that affected area and then go over it with SwirlX or ScratchX 2.0.

                  best of luck and keep us posted

                    Will do, and yes, it's time to buy the clay kit. I have the Scratchx 2.0. Thanks for the suggestions and help!

                        I find myself washing in the rain in the winter and spring.... no sense fighting it all the time and trying to be perfect.

                        Just get the big dirt off and enjoy the shine underneath.

                          I used a california duster to take care of any loose dust first and then follow it with UQD.
