I don't know if any certain brand will have less dust. I have a California Car Duster that does very well with removing the wax dust from my vehicles (both of which are black).

I use Meguiar's Gold Class liquid wax. Look's great, no waxy build up or dust.
I've tried Zaino and IMHO it didn't look any better, was a lot more time consuming, and certainly more expensive. :)

Try Turtle Wax Color Cure. Comes in black and other colors. I use it on
my black daily driver car and it hides chips and scatches. I don't use it
on the whole car, just in the areas that need it.

I haven't waxed my car since having it painted black in 1998 so I'm not sure what types of waxes are out there. I've only used the Blue Coral wash and wax you find in discount stores. After washing I just dry the car off with soft cotten towels. :D

Personally I use Meguiars Carnuba and if there is any dust the California duster catches it all.

I've heard all good things about Zaino but it's pricey. For a little less $, try Zymol. I polished my black BMW for the first time today using Zymol and it was no hassle and I didn't have a dust issue (and no splotching that you often get on dark cars). I also swear by my California Car Duster as well....

Cali- Nice car.
I have to vote for Zaino. Applies smooth, buffs off easy and leaves no residue. Can't beat the shine.

Right up my alley. since I have tons of black pieces. My choice is [Megulars "Mirror Glaze" 7 Professional, Show Car Glaze] a pure deep gloss polish for the use by hand. :thumbs: I have tryed nearly all of them, and that works the best.
