which attract more dust?

Regardless of what you have on your vehicle, you're still going to have dust accumulation. It's just a fact of life when it comes to detailing your car, and more prevalent especially on darker colored vehicles. Some claim that certain waxes or sealants attract less dust, but there are just too many variables to narrow it down for sure as to which attracts less dust.



I would just say that you should use whatever product you like. Dust is bound to happen regardless of what you use, as it's just one of the many negative side effects of driving. I wouldn't let an insignificant issue such as dust ultimately influence your decision of what product to use. Better determinants of what to use on your vehicle are gloss, shine, depth enhancement, durability, etc.
 
Polymers /some/ initially attract more noticable dust than Carnauba waxes, but I find the Polymer dust problem to be minimized by washing. The Carnauba seems to hold the dust better than the Polymer/s/ do. Plus the Carnauba dust problem is more ongoing IMO.:xyxthumbs

With the carnaubas that I have used, the dust issue also seems to disappear after the first or second wash.
 
I agree with the statement "Regardless of what you have on your vehicle, you're still going to have dust accumulation. "





On my personal vehcile I notice Poorboys EX-P and EX both seem to attract dust right away. If I didn't like the look so much I would change products . Dust is something you gotta live with .
 
Honestly, I really can't tell for sure...dust (and pollen) accumulates so fast that it's really a moot point for me. I have noticed that using the right material to remove my LSP has more impact on dust/pollen accumulation (extremely dry MF = static = more dust attraction afterwards). Of course, good removal techniques just means that I have a 3-inch layer of dust as opposed to a 5-inch layer the next day :(

What about if I'm not driving anywhere? For example, right after I wash/dry my vehicles I'll notice a very thin layer of dust on the surface within about 15 minutes. Nothing drastic, but I can tell it's there. I usually use a carnauba as a LSP.

If your car was stored in a totally sealed and perfect environment, then dust accumulation would be nearly non-existent. But let's face the facts, that is just not happening as it is fruitless and impractical.



Even when a car is sitting perfectly still in a garage, dust will still accumulate on the surface. It doesn't matter what you put on your vehicle, dust will still land on it regardless. Not to be wise, but dust doesn't discriminate between Zaino, Klasse, Souveran, or Blitz. Forget those claims about "static-free" or "low-dust attraction"... it's all just a bunch of horsefeathers by people boasting their products. Just think about it, how many times do you see show cars being wiped down at indoor auto shows or museums? Even those pristine cars still have dust problems just as much as we do.



My recommendation would be to use a product that you like based on looks. Dust is just one of the many things besides swirls, scratches, and stains that will continue to drive us perfectionists insane.
