Pollen & Sahara Dust on Your Car? Here’s How to Clean It Properly—Without Scratches

As soon as the first warm wind blows from the south, it’s back: fine, rust-red Sahara dust. Carried over thousands of kilometers, it settles on everything in its path—rooftops, windows, patio tables, and of course, on your car. Sounds fascinating? For your paintwork, it’s a real challenge.

Dust, Pollen, Dirt—An Invisible Threat to Your Paint

Combined with pollen, soot particles, and urban fine dust, a gritty mixture forms that can cause more damage than you might realize at first glance. Each careless swipe across the hood grinds fine scratches into the paint—just like using sandpaper in miniature form.

But don’t worry: with the right care, you not only protect your vehicle but also make it shine again. Wondering how? We’ll show you step by step.

Gentle Dry Cleaning for the First Film of Dust

If the Sahara dust is still loosely resting on the paint, the SWISSVAX Car Duster is perfect for an initial gentle cleaning. Its treated cotton fibers attract and pick up dust particles—without scratching, without water. It’s ideal for a quick touch-up before work or after a dusty day.

When Water Is Needed—Safe Wet Washing

If the dirt has already bonded with moisture or has accumulated over several days, a thorough wet wash is essential. First, rinse with clear water to remove coarse particles. Then use products specifically developed for delicate surfaces.

The SWISSVAX washing and drying range offers everything you need: from the gentle Car Bath and the two-bucket method to the extra-absorbent Drying Towel. Every step is precise, every drop counts—so your care is more than just cleaning: it’s a real wellness treatment for your vehicle.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure—Protect Your Car Proactively

If you want to keep pollen and Sahara dust from settling on your paint in the first place, reach for the SWISSVAX Car Cover. This breathable protective cover lives up to its promise. Your vehicle stays clean, protected, and ready for your next drive.
