Anti-Static / Anti-Dust options

There's a lot of dust in the air where I'm at. So much, in fact, that if I take even a 10 minute drive immediately after a maintenance wash, I get a layer of dust on the car which is very noticeable on black paint. I've heard of waxes that have anti-static properties in them, and also quick detailers. I found two that I listed below. Which should I go with? And/or, does anyone know of any other good choices? Thanks.

Between the two products, CG Speed Wipe would probably do a better job preventing dust from settling. I like the Synthetic Quick Detailer as a clay bar lubricant, as it is very slick. It also happens to be on sale today (11/10/08) as our Daily Special if you wanted to pick up a bottle at a great price.

Keep in mind, any product with anti-static properties will do a better job in preventing dust from settling than a non anti-static product, but it doesn't eliminate dust from settling, just helps minimize it.

Let us know what you end up going with and what your thoughts are.

Cheers,

George

not to take away from George at DI, but Finish Kare 1's #425 detail spray has been praised as the best in the industry for anti static sprays.

Now on a different note, CG Synthetic Spray is also Adam's Polishes Detail Spray (reviewed as one of the best sprays available), and George's current deal on the CG spray makes it something too hard to pass up.

Gianni, I'll let you try both when you bring your car over on Friday. Just bring some empty spray bottles.
