How to keep finish clean during curing process

So, I'm thinking of polishing and glazing my ride for the summer. But I have a question about curing the glaze.

I know I should let it cure for 24 hours, but how do you guys keep dust from settling back on the finish during the curing process? Do you just rinse the wash/clayed/polised surface with water prior to applying the sealer and wax?

Or, is there a good car cover that won't leave lint or dust behind?

I'd appreciate any input - I've been detailing my own car for a while, but I've never gone through a glaze curing process

Typically it's 2 coats at 12 hours apart each
Since the Jetseal creates a thin coat, you could either blow off with a blower but honestly as long as you keep the car in the garage and the doors close, you should only have fine dust particles on the car.
Use a good quality MF and you should be fine.
You could always do a light sweep of the surface, then rub off the Jetseal.

This method would apply to any topical coating you apply.

if you are in a garage, the dust accumulation there is minimal

if you are not in a garage, maybe a spray down with some anti-static QD would help, but i don't think it makes a big difference
