Pollen -
Pollen isn't removed by air friction as you drive because it adheres to a surface with microscopic barbs that can attach to even a very slightly uneven surface, and adheres to a natural wax better than a synthetic polymer. As well as being allergic pollen is also very abrasive (due to its exine or barbs) and slightly acidic dust, especially when mixed with moisture and should therefore be removed from paint surfaces as soon as is practicable.

I think my lungs are coated in it, every time I breath I feel like I'm in a high elevation place, my sinuses are stuffed up, it sucks! I was wondering if I would wake up last night. I can't take the hardtop off to enjoy the weather.
...but worst of all, my silverstone is green!!

Well it's a beautiful day so I go for a 30 minute ride. I get home get out of the car and I didn't know that Honda offered the car in lime green. I love springtime, getting out of the house after sitting through the winter but I hate the pollen.
Sorry I just had to rant.
