I detailed my car on Saturday and Sunday night I noticed a yellow dust all over the car. I was wondering what part of the process I made my mistake on. I applyed the deep crystal system with NXT 2.0 between step two and thee and did it all by hand. Any advice would be great.

Re: Yellow Dust?
In my experience, UQD works great for light dust, but not so much for pollen. The pollen is really bad right now (as in I've washed my car and 2 or 3 hours later I can't tell that I did anything), so trying to remove it with a California Duster or a quick detailer just smears the pollen around. I keep on the pollen problem by just rinsing the car and drying it off. No problems with this method as long as the car doesn't have dirt and stuff on it. Gets kind of old doing it that way, but this time of year you just have to live with it unless your car is garaged all the time.

Re: Yellow Dust?
Same yellow coating every day here in North Carolina (bug gut green I call it). After I got a good coat of NXT 2 on the car, I could just drive to work (30 miles, avg 40 MPH) and the worst of it was gone. The windshield was the worst if I had to use the wipers, makes nasty lines along the sides. Dusting the rest off with an MF towel seemed to work.
Cheers!

Re: Yellow Dust?
Get a duster
As long as it's dry, you can dust it off
I remember when I lived in Mass. and this happened to me for the first time
I was all freaked out and couldn't believe it.
Living in Ca my whole life it was just freaky!
I jumped on a plane the next day, left all my stuff and my "yellow" car! LOL!

Re: Yellow Dust?
Hoffer, I'm a half hour south of you and I'm getting the same thing down here. It's all over the place, I dust the car off with a California Duster and within an hour there's more pollen on the cars.For those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.

Re: Yellow Dust?
It lasted for 3 months here in central Florida and this was six weeks ago. Photos taken less than two days after cleaning truck and driveway. Three weeks later it was pretty much gone after some strong winds and rain, finally. I probably had a total of at least 50 large garbage bags of leaves and pollen since January. Worst year that I can remember. That's a lot of raking!
Hang in there!
