Default How do you guys get rid of dust??

Its all over my freshly waxed superblack. I dont wanna scratch the car by just wiping it off dry, but I dont wanna wash it again just to get rid of dust. Any ideas??

I was thinkin maybe that quick detailer (meguires) would do the job, but im not sure. Thanks for the info!

I get that same problem with my Super Black---I guess it comes with the car color. When I wash and wax, the dust is like a magnet the next couple of days. I just scoot down the road kinda of fast for about a 1/2 mile and turn around ( it knocks the dust right off ); come back and park it till I go out.

I have that problem with my cars and they are white, after I wash them and I drive 2 blocks the lower part of my cars are covered in black dust. It feels like they have some type of magnetic attraction to dust, anyone know what to do?

Try the California Car Duster. Just dust off your car before or after you drive it. I've used it for years on my other cars without any problems.

I have used The California Car Duster for years as well. HOWEVER, be VERY carefull that you check it before you dust, one peice of debris trapped in there equals scratches.

the cali duster is great but the spray wax, spray detailers are excellent also. I know that the Eagle1 quick detailer spray wax is actually supposed to make the car static free. I use all the time adds nice shine, and great if you've already waxed the car. costs like 5 bucks a bottle, and probably gives you 8-10 full applications depending on usage.

I also use the Eagle 1 detailer spray after i wash the car. It makes the car look like its just been waxed, plus it seems to eliminate some of the static.

Is it the "wax as you dry" or is it called "quick detailer spray wax" or "wet wipe and shine"?

I ended up buying a bottle of Meguires Quick Detailer. In my opinion, there is nothign better to remove dust safely, and neutralize any static electricity which may be present after a wax. I recommend this, wish I had a digicam so I could show ya all...

California car duster followed by Z6.

And with how obbsessed I am, at least a few times a day. Keeps the car clean for a long while. The second there is any dirt that does not come off EXTREAMLY easy with the duster, its time for a wash/detail al over again.

I just got my Zaino kit, and once the weather clears up, I plan to catch up to the best of the Zaino users very quickly, in terms of layer count

Ah I can't wait.
