I washed my car at the self-service carwash and by the time I returned home (a four mile trip), my car's rear end was covered in a film on yellow POLLEN. ARRRRGGGHHH!!!! Having black is going to be heck for the next two months.

 

One of the fun things with black. Believe me, I've been there.

But since it pollen season...can you tell us how well the HEPA filter works on the '05?

 

Yup, my other car (4runner) is black, it's now yellow. Its stinks trust me, all of my previous cars have been black, guess I'm kind of traditional but heck, they look beautiful when clean !!

I hate how all the dirt/road grime sticks to the back end of this car. Need something to divert that crap back to the ground!

 

Sorry about that, bud. One of the fringe benefits of having a Legend Lime 'Stang is pollen will not be as apparent!

 

should have gotten screaming yellow?

 

Are you trading in the 96 Camaro for the 05 GT?

 

There must be a lot of pollen covering your caps lock indicator at the top of your keyboard.

My car seems fine. I love my location.

 

hah, I didn't even put two and two together to realize that the film of dust on my car now was from pollen!

Washed it last weekend, and waxed with Meguiars NXT, and after work on Monday there was a definite dust film covering the car. Screaming Yellow does helps to minimize it, but in the garage with the sun filtering through the windows really makes the dust visible.

Also, I agree with the poster who said that the rear end of these things gets dirty fast. It's unbelievable how fast the rear gets dirty. My '95 GT didn't have that problem at all. The '05 rear end is definitely a dust/grime magnet for some reason. :angry:

 

I am. I don't see why that's funny though.

And yes...its black...and it purty when its clean...but dang does it get dirty against like with in 0.01 seconds after you get done.

 

Black here also ......I wish that I would have had the dealer figure another $60 a month to my payment...for car washes.

 

I feel your pain. I have to clean my car so much now. And everytime I clean it I notice something that annoys me, like to 10 scratches in my hood that I dont know how to get out without repainting it.

 

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>OMG down here in Mississippi the pollen is horrible. We have been having this problem for 2 months now. My black mustang gets washed about every other day!! Black is hard to keep clean, but I love looking at it and seeing the sky, clouds, trees--- what ever is in its view </span>

 

Yup...same problem here...yellow pollen...red car....

 

Nice font

 

I noticed after we got the black stripes put on our satin silver that the dust is so much more apparent on the black stripes on the rear. I have this mortal fear of using a car duster too, I'm paraniod about scratching the paint with it.

 

I wonder about the dirt collecting on the back is more or less with the wing?

 

I can't agree with you more. My last car was a 2002 true blue V6, and any thin layer of dust or pollen showed up from a mile away. I love my legend lime. You have to get right up to it and look at it at a certain angle to see the dust and pollen.
