FOREST ACRES -- Pollen...Those who suffer from allergies hate it, but carwashes love it. 

Now that spring has sprung, pollen is in the air.  And that's helping to bring in business to Midlands carwashes.

One carwash on Forest Drive was bumper to bumper with yellow dusted cars Friday morning.

"We have seen quite a few cars "yellow-ized" but not to the extent that we expect to see," says Harry Jones, owner of Frank's Carwash.

Carwashes are hoping the dry, sunny conditions continue, which  means more pollen will be in the air.
