i washed a qd my car today...and ive been noticing that the car has been attracting a lot of dust lately



dont get me wrong i love zaino but i just dont get it



can it be because ive been drying my towels in the dryer?..i hear it gives off an electric charge and makes the car attract more dust??





how often do you guys wash your drying towels and detailing towels?

You are not the only one to have that experience. Read this--near the end he has a pic you need to see (not a commercial link and I have no affiliation with him):

ps. cali car duster does a good job...but the layer of dust was just crazy...it was only 3 hours of driving after i qd`d it...(and i didnt take it offroad :))



this is the first time i noticed such a big amount of dust...thats why im suspecting the towels as opposed to zaino

It`s Zaino. I thought Zaino wasn`t supposed to attract dust buy it acted like a magnet on my black 911. One of the reasons I quit using it.

Zaino is a dust magnet, that`s why a number of zainoholics I know top it with a carnuba

I can;t say I ever noticed a dust or pollen attraction problem with Zaino...here`s a recent post about this on the VCA

well, from answers on other forums and this one its pretty clear that it does attract dust more than others...but a quick cali dust should do the trick

I switched from S100 to Klasse. I was deciding between Klasse and Zaino and dust was one of the factor that steer me away from Zaino. After I made the switch I noticed that Klasse attracted less dust than when I was using S100. My car is parked outside everyday since I don`t have a garage yet. :p

I guarantee it has more to do with towels than Zaino.



I live in Lubbock, TX (dirt capital of the U.S.) and could tell when my towels were dried to long and had a static charge to them.



Zaino will attract some dust, but no more than S100 in my experience. Try pulling your towels out of the drier when then are slightly damp or even mist them with a water bottle if you dry too long.

The waxes or polish you choose does not attract or repel dust any more or less than other wax or polish product. It is a matter of the environment at the time.



When the Gurus did their tests they verified this also.



During high pollen or dust conditions it does not matter what product you use. Your car will get covered.

This picture rather belays that statement, wouldn`t you say? Zaino`s in on the right, Malms on the left. Clearly the Zaino`s is more dusty.

Who is the brilliant person who wrote all over that car?



Do you realize that causes scratches?



That right there is a autopian`s nightmare.
