I've had to change the way I keep my car clean.  Now I have the garage I can blow off the dust after a drive and rinse and get my baby inside quickly.  Every thing is dusty here in Tucson.  I wash and hand dry then use the Meguires spray on detailer.  I wait a day; rinse and towel dry.  It picks up dust if I don't do the wait a day, rinse and towel dry.  Very smooth and the dust blows off very easily.  Black car + dirt road = lots of work.

Heh Jeff! out of hibernating....as Bruce (Gunslinger) DaveM and others have said a spray detailer will really help. I thought you used some in Carlisle last summer?

We have been down the favorite wax / polish thread before.....and in the end its what you feel works best for you. I'm still stuck on the stuff that "Tux" recomended I try 2 years ago Zaino it goes on like baby oil very thin and very fast but you do not put in on circular. And after Sal Zaino showed up at Lukes BBQ I was sold on the Bada Boom Bada Bing guyLOL

I have about everything he makes and love the leather coniditioner as it has leather oil in it and your car smells like leather after using it.
Ask Dan (Danscar) how he liked the Zaino....LOL
