The live oaks here have been "sperming" everywhere the past week. Rather hard to avoid when you park outside. I find less pollen sticks when I keep the car well-waxed.

+1 on what Greg said.  If you keep your car clean and have a coat of wax or sealant, less pollen will stick to your car.  You should also be able to use a quick detail spray to get it off between washes.

FK 425 is a great product. It's worth trying it won't prevent the pollen but, will reduce the amount.

my car was washed two weeks ago and then after the wash i applied some Megs NXT 2.0 and then after that I applied some Megs Gold Class. it definitely helps i'm just trying to find ways to further reduce the amount of pollen that sticks to the car. I've done the quick detailer to remove the pollen but i'm waiting to get some poorboys S&W right now. i'm thinking i'll order the FK1 and give it a shot.

+1, I've been using it since last year. It does reduce the pollen a great amount and even makes it so that a good amount of it blows off when you're driving. I even use it as a household product to clean my plasma screen and black glass tv stand.

i dont think there is anything to keep car completely dust free, but products that have polychargers in them supposedly work good
