    Does pollen affect paint sealant curing?

    Just washed/clayed/polished my car then applied meguiars ultimate liquid wax to my car and shortly after a film of pollen covered my car. Will this affect the curing of the paint sealant? Will the pollen bond into the sealant?

    I used Ultimate Past Wax a week ago Friday, and Saturday morning the car was covered with pollen, small specks of sap, some petals from a flowering shrub. (don't know whay I parked it where I did, when I have a garage) Anyway, I washed the car, and there seems to have been no issues. It looks gorgeous.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

        Wouldn't affect the curing process of the sealant/wax, unless you applied the wax and pollen and plant debris covered your car before you had the opportunity to remove the excess coating then you could run into a mess!

        Pollen can be a real pain around this time of year. Normally a high quality microfiber and your spray detailer of preference can successfully remove it, even then sometimes a car wash is necessary if pollen or a bee's waste just smears if the surface is hot enough :/
