Steve,

I used to work in an auto body shop as a student years and years ago. I mostly did car care, such as polishing out paint etc… Boring work, but I do know that automotive paints if highly polished can create a static charge, and dust just gets attracted like s**t to a stick.

You need to find some anti static car conditioner, but I don’t know where you’d find it in the UK. Concourse valet cleaners will certainly have some, as they use it on chrome and wheels, to keep dust off. Try body repair shops, but ONLY the really good ones, the crash repair centres that do insurance work perhaps won’t have it, as they won’t be working on cars that need to be “superbly” polished….

Tamiya wax is “meant” to do the same, but you can also try some Carnauba Plus Wax, as you are using 2 pk clear. Also, use a lint free cloth, and wet it “slightly” first. Not drenching wet, just damp. And wax the body, and then buff up.

If you can find it, apply anti static car paint treatment and it “should” be a little better….
