    Thought you meant deionized water.

    Both Distilled water and DI water
    are forms of purified water;
    but, No: Distilled water and DI water
    are not the same thing.

    I seem to notice, after a wash and dry with D156 as a drying aid, my black car will attract dust/stuff also. The qd I use, ONR, does not attract dust/stuff. Don't think it has anything to do with your towels.

    2003 hours. Took photo of hood to show what has occurred after roughly two hours of applying 5 detail sprays on the hood. One small particle up by the driver side windscreen spray nozzle.

    These are the detail sprays I used to test the anti static qualities of these sprays to assess if they can repel pollen and dust. Imagine these lined up above the hood from passenger side to driver side. Each detailer given equal space. I wiped the hood first with an IPA and 350 GSM microfiber towel. I used the towel for the sprays as well.

    I see the hood photo but its hard to tell, which did you find worked the best / attracted the least dust and pollen?

    Re: Microfiber Static and Dust

    I applied the detailers around 1800 this evening. Still evaluating the anti static quality of each one. I will have a better assessment in the morning. Only a few hours have passed since applying

    Re: Microfiber Static and Dust

    I think that the charge of the entire hood is the same.

    I can't think of at reason that one section of a metal panel would have a different charge than the rest of the panel; regardless of what is on the surface.

    As a matter of fact, I suspect that the charge of the entire vehicle is the same. A discharge strap is mounted to the frame and discharges the entire vehicle...right?

    Phd. Level input welcomed
