Anyone else having this problem. I washed and hydro'd my mini last weekend, and by mid week the clear bra had attracted so much pollen, it looked like a yellow / green Bikini top on my car. I treat the bra the same as paint, washing, epic, and weekly hydro. Should I use something else that will prevent the bra from attracting so much pollen?

 

Wow, that is really odd! I do the same (wash, Epic, Hydro the clear bra just like the paint) and never get that...

Is it sticking to it? Or will it just dust right off?

 

It smudges and brushes off a bit with a California Duster type brush.

 

Odd. What kind of film is the bra? And how does the bra surface feel when it's clean? Is it soft and smooth, or does it feel like it could use a good clay?

 

Yeah, I agree with Mel, that certainly IS odd. I use those same Prima products and I have a clear bra on one of my MINIs and never had that problem, even at the height of pollen season.

 

Did it accumulate from just sitting around or during driving?

 

I purchased the film from invisiblemask.com and it's made from 3M ScotchGard. It is soft and smooth, and after applying hydro, very glossy.

Most of it accumlated sitting in the parking lot at work.

 

Static charge would be my guess.

 

I have been thinking the same thing. Just for Grins, I applied Slick this morning, after a wash and Hydro yesterday. I hope it cuts down the pollen.

 

I used to have the same problem with the pine and juniper pollen. I just used a dryer sheet that had been already run thru the dryer. Really heped with the static cling.........

 

Cool idea.

 

this forum entry is what brought me back to Nam detailing

 

Quick Update. It appears that the "Slick" application did the trick. The following two weeks, there was a significant reduction in the amount of pollen that was attracted to the clear bra.
