brushing off tree pollen

'Tis the season in the Mid Atlantic...tree pollen is falling at a rate that there is a fine green layer on the paint within an hour.

I have a fresh coat of P21S carnuba on the truck, so my questions is, is it OK to brush the pollen off daily without worrying about micro scratching?

If so, what is a good brush to use. I've seen those mop style brushes used by limo and livery drivers but they look like they could be rough on paint.

I'd suggest a microfiber towel and some detailer -- or a good traditional wash.

I don't like any kind of brush on my paint. Use a leaf blower first. Blow off as much of it as you can. Then wash or quick detail.
