Is Your Car Covered in Pollen?



Mine is. What was once grey is now yellow. It reminds me of my first car, a yellow Toyota Celica. I can say that pollen was not really an issue on that citrus-lemon-yellow automobile. I digress.

This time of year many Americans spend their Saturdays washing their cars which helps with the pollen, and its good for the exterior of any car. Here are a few tips form the pro's to make sure you are doing it right.

Routinely washing your Toyota is the best thing that you can do to maintain your vehicle's original shine and finish.
Here are a few tips to keep your Toyota looking new:
1) Use a quality car wash soap.
2) NEVER USE DISH DETERGENT to wash your car - it can strip off wax and damage the finish.
3) Car-wash-specific soaps are specially formulated to dissolve dirt without compromising your vehicle's finish.
4) Wash in the shade. This helps keep your car cool while you work, reducing the possibility of water spots.
5) Rinse the vehicle first, then wash from the top down and rinse often.
6) Use a clean 100% terrycloth towel for washing and drying.

  1. Of course don't park your Toyota car under the tres or better yet put a cover.
