How do you protect your car from pollen?
This spring is my first as a car owner. The trees in my neighborhood dump pollen everywhere. I know cars don't have allergies, but pollen isn't good for the paint. How can I protect my vehicle from pollen?

You are correct; pollen doesn’t just cause trouble for people, but also for your car’s paint job and filters.
To protect your car’s
paint job
, you will need to wash and wax your vehicle during the spring frequently. You should also park your car somewhere enclosed, like a garage, as often as possible. Regularly check and replace your engine filter and cabin filters. These filters keep pollen and pollution out, but a build up of pollen prevent them from doing their job and could lead to future problems down the road, like your engine overheating or your car smelling.
Just like you regularly wash and maintain your car, you should also check that you’re getting the best rate on the coverage you need. The
