Car WashAvoid damage and discomfort: Get pollen off your car with Tommy’s Express
Springtime is here again, which means it’s time to get tissues out, allergy meds in, and get pollen off your car. We all love warm weather and getting back outside, but some of us are already suffering with watery eyes and runny noses that inevitably make going outdoors a pain.
The problem for allergy sufferers is that different plants have different pollen seasons, ranging from as early as January to as late as November. Spring months, however, tend to be the worst, as fine yellow powder blankets everything outdoors, including your car.
Tommy’s Express can make your commute fresher and give your car some pollen protection all season long. It turns out your sinuses aren’t the only things pollen doesn’t mix well with.
Pollen is not just about allergies
While the dusty buildup of pollen on your car might not seem so bad, the acidity of the buildup can dull the paint on your vehicle, eat away at your clearcoat, and even promote rusting.
Flower and tree pollen are released in a virtual flood during the spring. If your entire car is dusted with pollen, this season-long, low-grade chemical burn can add up to some pretty surprising damage if you don’t deal with it proactively.
Getting pollen off your car is essential, whether you suffer from allergies or not. Thankfully, Tommy’s Express makes it easy to keep your vehicle protected, clean, and beautiful.
Fresh and clean, inside and out
A car wash at Tommy’s Express is specially designed to cleanse every part of your vehicle, even underneath. This keeps the surface fresh and clean so you don’t track pollen back and forth from work to your garage.
Our Ceramic Body Wax leaves a thin coat of carnauba wax over the surface of your vehicle, adding a layer of protection to make it harder for pollen to stick. With an Unlimited TommyClub membership, you can wash as much as you need for the same monthly price, which comes in especially handy during pollen season.
Our self-serve vacuums are a fast, free way to spring clean a car’s interior—and that includes sucking up pollen dust. Vacuum the inside surfaces of your car to remove the buildup that may have snuck in.
Use the dashboard wipes included in our detail kits or anti-static dust spray to treat car surfaces to repel pollen and keep as much of it out of your car as possible.
Check your air filters
One last quick tip: Pollen dust is everywhere, and even if your car is clean inside and out, it can still get in through your vehicle’s air intake while you’re on the road. Cleaning or replacing your cabin air filter will help block those particles and keep your driving experience as comfortable as possible.
It’s not a magic bullet for allergy season, but by taking proactive care of your car and making the trip to Tommy’s Express, you can limit your symptoms and make your vehicle that much more comfortable to spend time in. Join TommyClub and try your local Tommy’s Express Car Wash today!
