Carnauba dusting problem - What is the solution to avoid and protect our business?

[Tempest45]

ONRWW is the best I have seen at not attracting dust.

Grounding the surface doesn't help? Get something like an iron nail or screwdriver and discharge the surface charge by touching the paint inside the door jams, hood and trunk jams and any other surfaces.

Ok, so you've had the science. Now, as a practical matter, some posters have reported superior results with wiping wax and sealants with Meguiars Fast Finish. I have the product but haven't had the time to try it yet.

Maybe those that have can comment.

I'm in the midst of a little bit of testing regarding this. You might be referencing a video with a black Camaro in it? My theory after watching that video was that the "other product" (which I forget) was attracting dust, rather than Ultimate Fast Finish repelling dust. So I'm putting UFF to the test on a couple cars with a different control on each car.

When I put our dryer on a wood pedestal I noticed my MF was charging up like the balloon that sticks to your hair trick. I grounded the dryer to the cold water pipe and the static was greatly reduced. You MF may be inadvertently charging your paint.

That other product was Carpro Ech2o.

Thank you for your explanation of this Mr. Phillips! Keep on ROCKING!

Thanks bud...

That was a DAMN good explanation, Mike!

Thanks Kirk...

Meaty post there, Mike!

Thanks!

I was aiming for meaty...

What if we use a wash and wax product (ie ONRWW) and gently do a wiping motion when cleaning and drying? Much like a negative rep when lifting weights (go SLOWLY).

This way, there is little to no "rubbing" therefore there will be little to no change in static charge of the paint.

I would think the above at a minimum would help...

Never really have that problem.

Maybe the humidity here in South Florida?

Sovereign liquid wax is awesome stuff but attracts dust like no other wax.

Love the wax and never noticed the dust issue myself?
