How do I keep clean after wax?
Is there any good ways to keep my car still looking good after waxing it? Because after 2 days it gets filled with dust.

California duster....but read the directions before use
And... Learn to do a Rinseless.....in my sig...download and read. And when you’re finished with your wax , dump it. There’s a new sheriff in town. Wax is dead....... Read: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showth...hlight=Essence |

2nd the ditching of the wax! Silica sealants are night and day from wax, much better and easier to keep.

You'll find the silica sealants/coatings also shed dirt and water better, which makes it easier to wash. Also, use a blower to remove water after washing. The less you touch the finish, the less scratches you'll see over time.

Yes coatings will still swirl. They are not bulletproof. Essentially your coating, sealant or wax are sacrificial layers to protect the paint. If you are the type of person who can't stand the sight of a swirl or scratch on your car, then coatings are not for you. Everytime you polish off the swirls or a scratch, you have to reapply the coating. That gets expensive and can look uneven.

Your car is going to get dusty no matter what wax or sealant you use so you still need a duster.
I've used California duster in the past but now prefer using a Merino wool duster. It is much softer and can be washed easily making it like new each time. Works great on the interior as well. The CA duster retains the dirt and gets saturated at some point.
