Do you use a waterless wash? a quick detailer? Can pollen scratch the car whereby you would need a full wash to remove?
 
I wash the car using traditional 2 bucket method.

If car isn't dirty then hose it down with water...

That should take care of the pollen.

I’ve never had an issue removing pollen using a waterless wash and three of my cars are black. I now pretty much only do rinseless washes but if you’re looking to use a waterless wash, you’re good to go.

You are better off waiting if you have a black car if not you could lightly use a California Duster
 
•To answer the thread-starter question:
-The easiest solution I’ve found
is to spray-wash the vehicles.

Yes, pollen can scratch vehicles’
surfaces; the methods used in its
removal quite often depends on the
severity of a person’s OCD affliction.

Glad I found this, being in central VA this time of year is a pollen nightmare.

I don't have a closed-in area to do my detailing after washing but I do have the availability of a parking garage at work. This is a very open and breezy garage but at least covered.

Holidays/weekends there's open space a-kimbo, artificial and natural light along with power (shhhh...).

Not to be Capt. Obvious but I suppose I need to be constantly wiping prior to any polishing passes or should I forsake any polishing unless in an enclosed area or is that just too paranoid?

Oy vey...
 
Pollen can scratch. I use a pressure washer first, then a highly lubricant soap with the GD method. Lots of wash mitts, lots of water, and water pressure to lift the pollen instead of dragging it over the paint surface.

Here in southern Alabama, we live with pollen, gnats, and love bugs. Kinda sucks, but it is what it is!

At least you don't freeze 6 months a year, ranger. Lol
