Default pollen/dust help?

So it seems I wash/wax my car every day trying to keep the pollen and dirt off. My neighbors kids keep playing in the bushes next to my car and it shakes A TON of pollen on my car... Is there something better then the California Duster to just wipe this crap off my duster just spreads it ...

those kids are lucky there entertainment for me, seems every 5 minutes one of them is falling out of the bush which for some reason really makes me laugh...

I just washed my car today and not 5 minutes after drying it, it was covered in pollen. Not much you can do to stop it other than park it in a garage if you have one. I just go drive it to get the pollen off.

I had a lot of dust and pollen on my car this morning, I used my generic Cali. duster after the dew dried and most everything came off. Another thing, drive really fast, if you get pulled over, explain to the officer that your trying to get the pollen off your car, lol.
Put some poison ivy in the bushes, the kids will stop playing in them, lol.

HAHAHA the poison ivy sounds like the perfect way to end this madness lol... I usually drive the car around the block but this time of the year the farms are kickin up dust down the road so when I drive by it makes it worse... I think I need a leaf blower

a grounding strap will help a bit. i noticed a difference after running mine. it dissipates all that static that holds the pollen to the car. Mine is usually clean by the time i get to school

my doctor told me to keep drinking or I might die from my blood drying up........trick is to never get drunk......just keep a constant intake of it going in........after a few years the liver learns who is boss and starts to do it's job and in many cases puts in overtime.......
