Pollen H3LL down here... "yellow haze" we call it. Makes one just throw up their hands and surrender for a few weeks until it's over. The crap is everywhere, and gets in every nook and cranny of the car - open, closed, doesn't matter.

Sometimes THIS bad...

You have got to be kidding me. That first picture especially has got to be a photoshop job.

Right?

Please?

wow, that's some serious yellow#5.


on the otherhand, i it was 42F and washed both dd's.
cleaned the interior as well.

lotsie- i tried your simplegreen technique on the a/s floormats
while washing the cars and 50/50 nero'ed at the end. looks great!

i notcied that if you do 50/50 nero with distilled water, you can
just spray completely, let it soak in and it will dry matte. i went over
it with my utility MF, but there's no need. great stuff.

so im running kinda low on some detailing things...

griot's carwash, speedshine, sprayon wax.
since i wash my dd's more than my hobby cars, would it make more sense
to get Mystic for my Hydro or just get the cool griot's car shampoo with
the nice pump? (im already using the griot's gallon with the pump,
so just need the bottle.)

how are you guys measuring your mystique? laundry detergent cups?

I'm in Texas and just got my Astro Black during what we call pollen season.
I light yellow haze on the car.
Then I remembered driving in Georgia during pollen season. It was so thick, every few minutes you had to use your windshield wipers to clear it so you could see! Insane!

So I stopped complaining and started washing. Again.
