How do you get Pollen spots off????

[swinkler]

Our wash (60 foot express) is in Southern California and we get a lot of vehicles with little dots of pollen which do not come off in the tunnel. Slimeline took care of our bugs, but we have no solutions for the pollen.

Any thoughts?

Describe your equipment package for us. How many sets of side brushes/wraps/rockers/mitter/top brush etc...

Pollen spots are tough, especially in short tunnels.

Don't hold me to it but I believe it is actually bee pee. As in like honey bees. We get it here to and the only way to get it off is to pressure wash it.

if they are round and raised and brown-ish they are artillery fungus. they normally originate in bark mulch. good luck! those are like cement.

I don't think that's pollen either. The pollen we see in the Spring generally manifests itself as a yellow to green-ish dust on the car.

Do you prep vehicles prior to sending them through?
