tkr128, what is "PB`s S&W" please.



I imagine that it is a product line that we do not get here in Australia.

^^^ What they said.



Hm, I think you might be able to get some mailed to you since I think Steve (of Poorboy`s) takes international orders by phone, but the shipping costs will probably be outrageous.

Ground it. Then, use the CCD.



Problem solved.

Ground it?

[jimmybuffit]

Simplest manner involves jumper cables to thecar`s frame and a cold water pipe. Neutralizes any positive charge... won`t eliminate the effect of gravity, but those particles will wipe right off. Works... yeah, it really does.

Interesting Jim.

Thanks for the information on "PB`s".



I checked out the link and must admit that from the sound of the product I would be dubious about using it.



If there is dirt on the surface how can this stuff move that?, as they say just spray on and wipe off (clean). Also doesn`t it leave a soap/solvent residue? And I am concerned when they say use in sun or shade as that goes outside the normal convention too. What happens if it dries on the paint?



If forum members have used it, like tkr128, I respect their experience and would like to know more.

All I can say is that Spray & Wipe works! It does not leave any residue. I typically use 2 microfibers - one to clean & the other to remove any leftover product.

I was too until I tried it. Here is a link that has some pics:

The next time I need to make an order from Autopia, I`m going to include at least one of these:

Concours Buffing Towel. I plan on using this as my duster.



As far as the grounding connection goes, you can use the ground pin on any electrical outlet and it will work just as well, if not better. In some homes, even a copper water pipe does not insure a good ground depending on how your house is constructed. The ground pin on an electrical outlet should have a physical connection to the grounding stake which is below the electrical meter.

So how would one go about connecting the frame of the car and the ground pin of an outlet? I can`t see a method for doing this. I`m interested to find out since this dust problem really bugs me as well.

How come nobody asked what this dust was? The same thing happens to my car, in the same places. I figure it`s tire dust, and the aerodynamics drop it off at the rear of the car.
