Default Help!! I have static cling

Any one else have a major case of static cling on their Z. I just bought a Track Z with 7000 miles. Drives nice and I really love it so far, but does any one else have alot of static electricy on their body? I washed and waxed my Z yesterday and it was beautiful, until I started my car. Once I started the engine I got out to take another look at my Z and their was a lot of fine dust/sand that clung to the bottom panels all the way around. I tired to just dust it of but you can feel the static force. Strange. Do i NEED to install one of those grounding kits that people say only look cool. Do I have a bad ground some where? Please help guys. BEN

Thats what my Z does too. I just get done washing it and somehow after I drive around, I get a nice thin layer of dust on the car. Not really heavy but visible enough if you were to write something on it with your finger.

The Caliduster works wonders in removing that static-like dust from a clean car
