Have garage queen that manufactures dust. Any chance I could cure it with the air flow from that

Sidekick blower? Feedback please!

I can`t ever blow the dust off of mine...it just doesn`t come off that easily.` Well, at least not to my satisfaction.

I think pretty much every wax/sealant will promote dust from sticking to your vehicle. I`ve heard of some products advertising anti-static properties, but cannot attest to their credibility?`

I always had the garage queens under a cover. And, don`t shoot me, I used a duster. Weight of the duster only with no problems.

Wish I`d had better luck (is it luck or skill?` As in, "user-error", not Accumulator-proof...) with the CCD.` I got tired of seein car covers so I leave the garage-queens uncovered these days.,

FK425 is supposed to be anti-static, but I`ve never noticed anything like that IRL.

Some sealants (e.g., FK1000P)`*are* better with regard to dust-attraction/retention, while some waxes seem especially bad in this regard (e.g., Souveran).` UPP is pretty good (just drove the S8 the other day, it`s been sitting since before the Holidays but it wasn`t so dusty that I was embarassed) and 845/476S aren`t bad as waxes go.

Perhaps if I drove it (in good weather) on a more regular basis..the wind volume would help remove the dust!

Heh heh, yeah...the whole "use it more" idea would probably help with`a lot of things!` I simply *gotta* start driving my garage-queens more, need to thin the accumulation down to a manageable level (which will end up being far`fewer cars than I ever imagined).

I wasn`t kidding about the driving more idea...am I just dreaming about the concept that the wind volume (in good weather) would help eliminate dust buildup?

Guess it`ll depend on how tenaciously the dust sticks.
