I am also in GA and feel your pain. I also have to leave the car parked under pine trees so I get crazy pollen and sap. Need to build the extra garage as the other two cars aren't getting parked outside.

Given that it hasn't rained, and it's just pollen build up.

I just use the following:

+

Takes me no more than 15 minutes if you work fast. End result is a "just detailed" or "just waxed" look. Meguiars D156 is one awesome quick detailer/spray wax. And I've used many brands (Chemical Guys, Griots, Mothers etc.).

I use detailer to remove light dust or wash.

I park under Oak trees so yellow pollen plus the bird droppings make this time of year bad. Luckily for me its spring in Ohio so it rains all the time so I don't bother with washing all the time just once a week or so.

Yups I do the same. I use Optimum Instant Detailer which I leave a bottle of it in my car trunk. Bird crap galore sometimes so it's handy to have it in trunk.

If you enjoy your paint looking its absolute best, DO NOT use a California brush. if swirl marks and shit don't bother you than carry on and ignore the rest.

Use a decent wax, use a decent quick wax in between full waxes. If you want an "easier" way to clean it off without ruining your paint and doing a full wash, use something like optimum no-rinse with some microfiber towels to wipe the car down carefully.

Fold the towel into fours, make 1 pass sweeping upward with each fold.

If you are us ing the brush properly and just Kuching the surface to allow it o draw the dust up you will not have swirl marks and sure as hell ruining the paint. Dragging dust around with a detail spry and microfibre towel will give you swirls for sure though.
A simple coat of wax makes all the difference though.

I hose it off best I can, let it air dry, then use Meguiars quick spray and wipe.

I agree. I have found that pollen in these parts (mainly from fur trees) is best dealt with by washing it off with water.

Anything else just seems to smear it around .....

Yea, in Georgia for one month, everybody has a greenish yellow flake coat on top of their "OEM" basecoat.

I have an electric leaf blower that I use to dust the cars with that sit outside at our house. As long as it hasn't gotten wet that will get 90% of it off if the cars have a decent coat of wax on them.

Coming from fur trees it would be dandruff perhaps from drop bears in the trees.
