Default Dust

Are there any products like waxes or anything that prevent dust from sticking to your car?

I just spent 4 hours washing and waxing my black ss only to have a small gust of wind come and get the whole damn thing dusty. I have a california duster that I will use, but I would rather prevent it from sticking altogether. By the way, I use menzerna FMJ if that matters.

Just park in a paint booth. I think your cali car duster is the way to go.

A cali duster and keep shaking it out.
A good detailing spray helps a little.

Same here with the FMJ. I'm not sure there's a way to keep the dust OFF, but their acrylic spray does a good jub when dusting. Personally, I don't like to use a dry duster on the car.
