    I have not found a good way to keep dust and pollen off of my 2012 BLACK Taco.
    We had a very mind winter here in Saint Petersburg Florida now spring is here !!!!
    Just over night dust and pollen will covere my truck.
    I have been using a California dust buster.
    Any one have any luck with anti static sprays?
    thanks

    I have the same problem, spraying it off with the hose is the only thing I found that works. Leaf blower, nope.

    You're wasting your time. Black is going to show stuff like that more than any other color.

    We have hard water.

    my advice is to live with it, you bought a black truck. Its clean for 3-4 days a year when i wash it. I had to trade it in my black tacoma for a larger truck and told myself i would never buy another black truck. Then, i saw a brand new black truck and bought it. They just look awesome when clean, but its short lived. Even washing in pollen season here, i am fighting the pollen when im waxing just 30 minutes after wash. I used to rinse, then my well water started showing hard deposits, so now it just is what it is.
