Dust Repellant after Collinite 845?

[Smoothy]

Is there anything I can apply after waxing with 845 that would help repel dust and pollen? After hand waxing my vehicle, I am physically exhausted. So anything that could be sprayed on without a lot of additional work would be preferred.

Spray-on/then-wipe-off some ice cold water, one panel at a time.

Over years I've notices waxes in general actually attract dust because if its chemical makeup. I've recently switched to strictly using sealers such as Wolfgang deep gloss or backfire. The chemical makeup of the sealers seems to detract dust more so then a wax especially with carnauba.

Some have had luck with Finish Care 425 QD. They advertise it as "anti-static". But this time of year, the pollen is so bad, I'm not sure it will do much. It makes you want to switch to a coating. I don't think its as much static, as its was just being sticky. I used Aquawax yesterday, and came out to clumps of pollen this morning on my hood.

I just ordered the FK 425. I'll post a review if it works.

This is a good point. Water can diminish the static charge. Even a waterless wash or qd made from concentrate ie. mixed mostly water and small ratio of solution will help rid static.

Another thing. Get yourself a Master or AirForce Blaster. 50% + of the pollen & 80% of the dust blows off touch free. I do it daily.

I am just learning that FK425 is well known for its anti-static ability to repel dust and pollen. Another QD that is also mentioned is CG Speed Wipe.

FK425 does help a little, but when the weather is really dry and windy; then forget about it. The negative charge from the paint turns your car into a natural dust magnet.

Sounds like an effective dust repellent doesn't really exist, so the next best thing is just to keep it from sticking to the surface. Have you found that FK425 (or CG Speed Wipe) makes it easier for a quick hose rinse to clean off dust & pollen?

Another QD that seems to work well on dust is DG 521. It really seems to help with a twilight blue Ford that the daughter has.
