Question Dust. I hate dust!

Hey all,

For the last week I have used Autoglyms rapid detailer every day with mfs to get rid of the dust. Ten minutes later the yellowish sand is back.

Each day the mfs need to be washed as they come back filthy.

Two questions...

1) Am i doing the right thing using detail sprays to remove dust? and
2) what is the next spray I buy? My spray is about empty and want to try something different. I have heard a lot of good things about FK425.

FK425 provides the most gloss of any QD I've seen. It's just hard to find. I have a 16oz bottle of the pink stuff hidden so my son won't use it and save it for when I want to impress. Can't go wrong with Finish Kare QD if gloss is what you are after IMO.

Hard to keep the car clean when pollen is flying around. It'll get better after spring

+1. You are definitely describing pollen which is all too common this time of the year.

My personal policy is that if I've driven the car, I will not quick detail it to remove dust. The chance of micro-marring the paint is just too high IMHO. Thus, I end up washing the car often during this time of the year.

FK 425 just arrived and already on the car. It wipes the floor compared to AG rapid detail i was using.

Bobble. It has a lot of gloss. Loving it! BOOM.
