Tree sap
Soften sap before removing it — never scrape. A sap remover or isopropyl solution on a microfiber, followed by washing, works well for fresh drops.
Pollen
Pollen is abrasive in large amounts. Rinse it off rather than wiping it dry.
- Rinse thoroughly
- Wash with soapy water
- Change or clean cabin air filters in heavy seasons
Protection
Wax makes both sap and pollen easier to remove. Avoid parking under dripping trees when you can.
