How to Kick Pollen Season without Losing Your Shine
Aah…springtime in New England. After a long, hard winter, it’s finally time to kick back and enjoy the great outdoors, feel the sun on your face, and…(hit the brakes) what the heck is that sticky yellow stuff coating your car’s beautiful finish?
New England pollen, or the devil’s confetti as we affectionately call it, is notorious – not just for its ability to inspire world class sneezing, but for the way it can coat your car like a squatter that refuses to leave. It isn’t just that it stubbornly clings to whatever gets near it, its acidity and stickiness can wreak havoc on your clear coat and paint finish. No self-respecting car owner wants to drive around in a pollen-stained ride.
Of course there are some spring and summer car care tips you can do to help keep some of that yucky seasonal stuff from coming for your car. Avoid parking under trees eager to shed their pollen all over your finish. Use a car cover, if possible, and regularly wipe down interior surfaces. And change your cabin air filter. Your sinuses will thank you.
But, none of these steps will totally protect you and your ride from the dreaded pollen dust cloud in spring and early summer. Fortunately, we’ve got the answer – treat your stained ride regularly with a dose of clean. At our car washes, you’ll find your perfect cleaning solution, including self-service, touchless, and our super-sudsy tunnel experience. There’s nothing like a kick-a** Haffner’s clean for your machine.
And, until someone invents permanent pollen repellent, you’ll want to put your precious baby on a regular clean routine. Washing often in the spring and summer is a must. It not only protects your paint from damage and etching, but it also tackles the sneezing and red nose head on by keeping pollen out of vents, windows, and all those cracks and crevices. Plus, driving a clean car just feels better. Don’t pretend it doesn’t.
We have the answer for that, too – your very own car wash membership. Choose from one of our unlimited tunnel car wash monthly memberships. At the regular price, just two visits a month will pay for the entire month, but we’ve done that one better. You can snag the first month for just $10. Check them out.
