    845 Waxed exterior attracting dust/leaves

    After going through my 2 BM wash, clay and applying 845 the car looks great but seems to be attracting a lot of dust and small pieces of leaves. I went very thin and used less than a quarter bottle of Collinite 845.

    Is that normal after waxing?

    I just had the same thing with Optimum Spray Wax. The first rain, washing or QD wipe down usually solves the problem.

    I do experience some dust attraction with 845. It won't attract small pieces of leaves though.

    Ok. I'll assume the first rain will take care of it. Thx

    You build up a static charge when your removing/ buffing the paint with your towel that attracts dust.

    Just to clarify. You used 4oz of 845 to wax your car?

    Yes. I'd say close that or less. Is that too much?

    I just double checked. I transferred 4oz to a squeeze bottle and have about half left in the squeeze bottle so its probably closer to 2oz used.

    Still too much?

    Re: 845 Waxed exterior attracting dust/leaves

    I usually use 1.5 oz doing wheels, glass, and paint. And most here say that is too much.
    I have a white car and in the garage I cannot see it haze, so I tend to use too much.
