    Default Repelling or minimizing dust after wash/wax

    Ya...

    So most of you probably have had this done, but after a good day and a bit of washing, and waxing your car, even spray detailing it, you wake up the next day or even after a few hours and see it attracting dust like a magnetic. Part of that I can understand from all the rubbing, but is there anything out there to prevent that or stop that? Or should I just rub that bounce static sheet around the car? Or a swiffer cloth?

    Your best bet would be a tool such as the CA duster. With such a light coating, there shouldn't be any issues going over your car w/ the duster.

    Get two California dusters - one for the body and the other for the wheels. Never, ever switch the two unless you want scratches all over the paint. After one year throw away the wheel duster, switch the body one to the wheels and buy a new one for the body.

    Use that Bounce dryer sheet only for removing pesky bug residue (wet it first and rub LIGHTLY). Works great.

    At less than $20 a pop, that is a very good recommedation! I've read reviews stating that the OXO duster is the best out there right now. It has a soft handle (will do LESS damage if dropped) and works good.

    Put down the Meguires and use P21S

    OK, maybe not. But different waxes attract different amounts of dust...

    I always use a leaf blower to dry off my good car. It works especially well after an engine detailing to remove water from places where water shouldn't be. I don't care what the neighbors think as long as I'm not doing it at midnight.

    Actually i'm going to try Klasse AIO and sealant next as I got a great deal on a PC .

    I have a California Duster, and apparently, they're going for about $5-$8 at my local store .
