*"'<+" Pollen

I keep mine shined up with Lucas Slick Mist. Pollen just dusts off with a soft rag or air hose. Use it on the windshield too. Makes it easier to clean the bugs off. Lots of similar products available.

Folks here with allergies have been wailing.
Last week I left my bike outside in the driveway and when I went out there was a layer of yellow green pollen thick enough to turn my black bike into that color on all horizontal surfaces.
I'm surprised that there is such a difference so close by.

Unless there's oil or road dirt involved, a light spray of water, or even a good gust of wind like what you get when you take the bike out for a quick run down the interstate, will remove most of the pollen. With my allergies, a little pollen in my bike is the least of my worries. (Having a white bike helps prevent the pollen from showing up too much too.)

Yeah right???? Same here. I got a good layer of blitz wax on it and dust it lightly with a kozak cloth. My last bike was morocco gold and sure didn't show as much.
