How can I clean pollen off my vehicle?

Pollen is a huge annoyance to us each Spring. It drives our allergies crazy and just covers everything outside. One thing in particular is your vehicle. If you are like me, I hate seeing that yellow dust on the hood of my car everyday. It is definitely a good idea to wash it off, but not only for cosmetic reasons. The acidity level found in pollen is high and could cause early oxidation to your paint. 

An easy way to clean pollen off your vehicle is to first:

• Spray the top of it with a hose. You want to make sure you are working from top to bottom. 

Next, once the pollen is all gone:

• Put some detailing spray on your vehicle and then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. Using the detailing spray will make your vehicle have a gloss on it and deter the pollen from sticking.

Why is it important to change your cabin air filter?

 

Spring has definitely sprung and so has our allergies. This year, at least for me, my allergies have been terrible. We all know taking allergy medicine is beneficial to help us out, but did you know that you should also be checking and changing your cabin air filter? The cabin air filter (or simply cabin filter) does what it’s called really, it filters the air that is coming into the cabin of your vehicle. Just like you would change out your HVAC air filters in your home to keep pollutants at bay, its the same concept for your cabin filter.

Pictured above is a brand new cabin air filter vs an old and dirty one. If your cabin filter is dirty like this, you are breathing in those toxins and pollutants that are on it, like pollen for example. This filter is recommended to be replaced at least once a year to keep the air coming into your vehicle nice and clean, and free of toxins and odors.

As part of our complimentary safety inspection on every vehicle, we inspect your cabin filter each time your vehicle is in. Please call us at (609)655-2886 to schedule a reservation and a Spring checkup to make sure you are all set for the season ahead. We wish you a happy and healthy Spring!!
