Pollen Season and Your Car

We’re seeing the annual bloom of yellow vehicles in Alamance County. The dreaded pollen is here. We have it at Norris Automotive, but we also have some hints to help keep your ride looking (and running) like a dream.

What’s the Big Deal with Pollen, Anyway? Pollen looks harmless enough, but pollen can be a real pest for your vehicle. When it settles on your car’s paint, it can mix with dew and moisture, creating an acidic layer that dulls your finish over time. Left untreated, it can even lead to scratches when you wipe it off. And don’t get us started on the cabin! Pollen infiltrates through air vents, hanging out on surfaces and turning your car into an allergen haven for anyone who’s prone to sneezing fits.

Here’s What You Can Do About It. We know you’ve got better things to do than constantly washing your car—but trust us, regular cleaning is key during pollen season. And yes, it can feel like a losing battle. One day, you wash your car to gleaming perfection, and the next day, Mother Nature gets creative with her yellow paintbrush.

Your car has an air filter in the cabin, which works hard to clean the air passing through your car’s HVAC system. Spring brings an extra challenge with pollen buildup, so checking and cleaning your filter during this season is a smart move to keep your car’s interior fresh and comfortable.

Whether you want to spruce up your car, breathe easy during allergy season, or protect your investment, we’ve got you covered. Come see us at Norris Automotive, and we can commiserate about pollen season while getting your car in tip top shape for Spring!
