    Dusty after washing...

    About 1month ago i polished the lancer with SSR1 then sealed with EX-P. I didnt add wax because soon i will be running menzerna 106 through it... I notice that after a wash a couple days or so alot of *dust* forms everywhere.

    This is what im thinking;

    I didnt wipe off all the polish/used to much? - I rinsed the car after to remove dust (next time i will do the alcohol wipe)

    I used to much sealent? (I dont think i did i used a pea side per big panel..like the hood.)

    It just attracts dust?.


    Anything will help..im almost certain if i did an alcohol wipe it would not do this but i want to be sure.


    Also when removing EXP... i use a dry MF and i waited 40mins as recommend..should i use a damp MF/ some other chem?



    Thanks a bunch.

    Almost forgot heres a pic i wiped across to show how it sits on top..

    It's just a fine layer of dust, well that's what I see.

    So, right after you towel dry your car, there's instantly dust on your car, or there's dust on your car days after you wash it?

    Couple things come to mind. Not used EX P but some LSP attract dust like a magnet. P21S does this. It also could be LSP dust that falls into cracks like around doors and trunk and blows out later.

    Sorry if it is unclear is like the whole thing is covered in this light dust...it must be unbroken polish or something because it wasnt happening before.. No worries tho ill try an alcohol wipe and make sure all the polish is broken down next time.

    Uhh...if its 3 days later.... its probably just regular old dust.

    Mines always dusty by the next morning for sure if not sooner.
