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 vehicle. 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, an abrasive mixture forms that can cause more damage than you might initially think. Every careless wipe across the hood grinds fine scratches into the paint—like sandpaper in miniature format.

But don’t worry: with the right care, you not only protect your vehicle but also restore its shine. How does it work? We’ll show you step by step.

Gentle Dry Cleaning for the First Layer of Dust

If the Sahara dust is still lightly resting on the paint, the SWISSVAX Car Duster is perfect for an initial gentle cleaning. Its treated cotton fibers attract dust particles and pick them up—no scratches, no water. It’s ideal for a quick touch-up before heading to work or after a dusty day.

When Water Is Necessary – 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 it’s best to use products specifically developed for delicate surfaces.

The SWISSVAX washing and drying range has everything you need: from the gentle Car Bath and the two-bucket method to the highly absorbent Drying Towel. Every action is precise, every drop counts—this is more than just cleaning; it’s a genuine wellness program for your vehicle.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure – Actively Protect Your Car

If you don’t even want to give pollen and Sahara dust a chance to settle on your paint, reach for the SWISSVAX Car Cover. This breathable protective cover does exactly what it promises. Your vehicle stays clean, protected, and ready for its next trip.
