Default Anti Static Products

I have been using CG QSD and FK425 which are both supposed to have anti static properties. However I cant really seem to tell the difference between those and normal QDs in terms of dust repllent.

Anyone ever do a side by side?

If not, Ill do it on the trunk of my BLACK M5 and check the results! I live in a really dusty area so this should be a no brainer

ok after one dusty SOCAL afternoon,

The QDs rank as follows: (from least to most dust)

CG Synthetic QD
CG Speedwipe (non-anti static)
FK425

Im going to retry again, as its weird to me that FK425 got beat by an NON anti st.

And I did use different towels to wipe down each section

reporting back, same results. FK425 seems to have less antistatic properties than CG's regular QD which is kind of sad.

CG SQD works the best at repelling dust, but it is still a marginal difference at best

FK did replace SQD as my favorite QD, but now its back down as second....

SQD is about 1/2 the price of the FK anyways
