Default too much dust

didn't know where to post this but am looking for help on this.

Dust seems to cling to my car...anyone else have this problem?

I'll park my car in my garage or at work (not dusty areas) and after i get off work or take the car out the next day the car would be covered in a fine layer of dust.

I noticed this more after i did a complete detail on it about a month ago.

any ideas?

FK 425 helps a great deal to minimize dust. It is a QD with one of the best anti-static properties out there, give it a try. However, know that you will still get dust, just not as much. It adds a lot of gloss and leaves the finish very slick. Finish Kare FK1 Consumer Detailing Products

Anytime you detail your car, I would assume that the dust would cling easier because of the static electricity build up. I once polished half of the car (had to stop) and you can tell that the dust on the polished side is worse than the side that hasn't been polished/waxed.

Most good waxes have anti static properties(compounds in them). Some definitely work better thaan ohers, I find spritzing my mf with a QD for the final touch up takes some of the static away.

I have not used it, but from everything I've read, detaildoc is right on the money with the FK425.
