best time to clean?

i was wondering when it is the best time of the year to detail or just simply clean my NBP 3g TL. i have washed it earlier in the month but with the harsh wind and with spring time in the air here in New England, there just so much pollen stuck on my car which looks disgusting. instead of black all i see is yellow/green dust all over it. i tried quick detailing my entire car which worked for like a day and then next day all i see is the pollen again....

now i havent gotten the time to given her a good wax job or do a sealant and polish some of the swirls out due from winter time, i was wondering if i jsut need a really good detail and seal it altogether so my car isnt a dust magnetic anymore? any suggestion guys?

oh and car isnt garaged just in my back yard adn a tree which is like 20 feet away

A detail won't help with the pollen issue and using a QD to remove pollen is just adding to the swirlas as pollen is abrasive.

I would add some NRWS to your regimen. i dont know what it is, but after using it during our pollen bloom last month, pollen doesnt adhere, like if your not using it. Something almost makes the surface anti static....

Here is a great write-up by member "SweetJazz" that I always refer to for NRWS. I have been using it for a while now and I think it's a great product if you use it correctly.
