Dust attracted to car like a magnet, tips ?

[Widget]

Thanks guys. Forgot to mention, I'm in Australia, so not much pollen here at the moment (being Autumn / fall), but get quite cold, as we're heading into Winter.

I'll try a grounding method, but wouldn't I be grounded already ?

Thanks

I forgot to add FinishKare 425 also is an anti-static product.

I've already tried that route it doesn't work. Marketing hype, get a California duster.

Awesome, thanks Mike , will have a read.

nothing really solve this problem but some methods certainly alleviate. for example, some wax are more attractive to dusts and pollen. In my experience, collinite 845 attracts like crazy, but changing it to a fully synthetic sealant or coating certainly helps. also after you buff off your wax, you can use water to rinse your car, or detail spray to wipe down again. an extra round of washing/rinsing helps a lot but this requires a lot more extra effort lol.

I also heard/ seen some microfiber towels claimed to reduce statics after buffing. never tried any of those myself, and I personally think that's gimmick instead. but maybe they work.

Thanks guys

Ill try 'ground' the car, see if that helps at all, and maybe just have to carefully wipe down the panel(s) with some QD.

Rinsing or wiping with water or QD doesn't help because as soon as you dry or wipe it your putting more of a charge on it. I think your only hope is to use a California duster on the pollen before it gets wet or settles. You have to try to stay on top of it. It will quickly turn in to an amount that's to much for a waterless wash imo
