Black car owners only...which wax repels dirt best allowing easier quick cleanup?
All finishing cocktails are different...which mix allows for easiest /quickest touchup? (for dusting) As black shows more I will sacrifice shine for ease. I know this is not the right section to post this thread, but would like the most feedback. Have a second choice too?
Thanks, black car forum members!!

If you can find a dirt repellant, let us all know. I use Maguiers and it makes the car sparkle. However, 1/2 mile down the road the dust is back.

Everyone runs into the same problem and everyone has their own experiences and opinions with various products....

I found a plastic bag that was big enough to go all the way around it, but it was hard to see thru and made a wind buffet over 75 mph...

Zaino's......without a doubt.

The Wax Shop has an Anti-Static detail spray that works better than just polish or wax. Leaves a very nice wet shine too. Still seem to get dust on the rear more than any other area. Good Luck! KC

I have a black '99 coupe that is my DD ever since I bought it new. It is my 4th black car, having previously owned three black 5.0 Mustangs. This black C5 collects dust ten times worse than my black Mustangs, but it is the best and fastest street car I've ever owned. I wash it every week to minimize the dust problem. But I'll tell ya, it's worth it!

The key to controlling dust build-up is properly caring for your towels. NEVER dry them on anything above low heat. Preventing static charge on your towels and on your finish will be the best solution.

The morning sun comes though my window in the garage and you can see dust going sideways toward the car with synthetic polished. The oils in glazes and carnaubas just don’t generate that kind of static so attracts less dust.

That is probably true NTX and other products by Meguiar's does attract a LOT LOT less dust than most synthetic.
