Re: pollen

Yes, this is the type of duster being discussed here. Kent, this is a great picture showing how you should never use this tool!! The strands should just be touching the paint, maybe a bit more, not laid out flat like this. This is when you start running into problems, especially when there is a lot of fallout on the surface. At this point you start to just push stuff around rather than pick it up, and that leads to marring of the finish. For very heavy dust, a light touch here to remove most of the dust, then follow with a QD spray and a couple of microfiber towels to get the balance.

Re: pollen

Man, I live in the north bay, and every day at work I get a total dusting of yellow pollen. I wipe it off with a microfiber cloth, but in the sunlight I see wipe marks, like as gentle as I was being removing it, that **** still put fine scratches. I do have a wax on. I had gone over my entire car and used ultimate polish and a DA and then applied a wax.

I'd assume that if I went over the area with the polish again and the DA it prob would remove them pretty easily. It really is an uphill battle with a black car. It looks good, it is new, but I really wish I could get a really wet glassy look. Not sure if ultimate polish and waxing is doing it for me.
