You must not live in the ever dusty, wind blowing midwest. If I didn`t use a waterless, my water bill would be more than my house payment.

Got that right, I`m in NY. No dust, just slush.

LOL. I am starting to see some pollen on my car. There is no way it is pollen season in Florida yet (I hope)... Although the weather has been weird lately.

My car has been getting a yellow dusting on it daily for a few days

Thank you gentleman, glad it could help out!

Nice article! One thing not mentioned though was the use of a blower like an Air Force Blaster. Instead of using a "duster mop" for light dust I find an AF Blaster or an electric leaf blower removes most dust if the vehicle was washed and sitting in the garage (never driven). Best part is - you never touch the surface.
