Previously, i tried applying turtle wax on my friend car and only after 1 day, the car surface attract a coating of dust. Thinking that turtle wax may be the fault, i decided to try AG hd wax on another friend car. We went back to inspect the car the next day and it was a disappointment, the car also attract a layer of dust. Is it the fault of waxes, procedure, applying techniques or mother nature that is causing the car to become a dust magnet?

Some have better antistatic agents then others. People on here rave about FK 425, anti staic detailing spray. You may want to give that a go, I have used a few different waxes and CG 5050 is not bad.

I think that most of the past waxes atract dust.
So after waxing my car and after the wax cure time, I allways wash my car, or at least give it a quick wipe with a QD.
I think this is the best to do, because waxed cars are a dust magnet untill their first wash.
Here's an example of a test I've done with 3 waxes (collinite 476, 915 and Nattys Blue), just after a week and right before starting the wash:

HD wax loves dust! I tried AG hd wax vs swissvax concorso. Concorso side was almost no dust, HD side was a thick layer

wax does have an affect, also the removal. rubbing a MF over a metal panel will create static electricity.

w/ that said, i gave ONR a try and while i'm not a big fan of its cleaning ability it leaves a fine film on the surface after drying. this film provides a nice gloss (maybe too shiny for some) and repels dirt and dust very nicely. i've begun a process of a normal 2 bucket wash, followed by a one bucket ONR 'wash' to get this gloss and repelling factor.

FK425 is your answer.

Is there a good (cheap) place to buy FK425? Thinking I might give it a try.

As others have mentioned, some waxes definately collect more dust than others. Do you get the same effect with a sealant?

I ever tried a polymer sealant wax (AG EGP), it also attract a layer of dust but din really notice the dust level compare to a wax.
