Wax that doesn't attract dust?

Hey boys, I'm almost finished my jar of souveran. Although I love that wax, it does attract dust like a mother ?!$*#@. Anybody try something that is more anti static? Fuzion, bfms, something else from the pinnacle line maybe?
 
FUZION IME attracts dust like crazy. BFMS is pretty good. I will say, waxes all just tend to attract particulates, its the one negative. I've had luck with BFMS, CG 50/50 and Liquid Souveran(new formula) being good at keeping dust attraction at bay.
 
Really? Fuzion attracts a lot of dust? It was the one I was leaning towards. I read that people were saying it's better for not attracting as much dust as other waxes

Maybe its just where I live, its one of my favs, just noticed it attracted dust more than other PBMG waxes I've used. BFMS was really good at keeping dust at bay, and DP Max Wax was good too! I think you should go with BlackICE or BFMS over Fuzion.
 
Anything with even the slightest bit of oils in it will attract dust. Can't defy physics although many have tried.
 
Get one that is known for less nuba content and higher polymer content. Usually the more nuba the more oils they have to put in to make easy on or off.
A couple of options would be Collinte 845 or 476. 476 can be a chore to apply and remove it's the perfect DA wax. At that hardness probably not a lot of oils in it. I never had an issue with 845.
 
I'm going to say IME anything that feels "slick" has silicones in it (regardless if it's called a sealant or a wax) and dust will tend to stick to it. This is just part of the equation though, as show type waxes are oil heavy, and dust will stick to that as well as Todd stated.

My experience tells me none of this is really clinically significant. Dust/pollen is go to be more of a byproduct of your environment and/ or the season - not the LSP you use (coatings may be excluded).

So, just use what you like and wait for pollen season to end. Dust on the other hand - don't think that ever ends. If it's just "dust" and the car is clean, blowing the car down with a Metro Sidekick seems to remove a lot of it. Constant wiping down of a dry car with QD or waterless wash is a way to induce marring IME - especially noticeable on a black/dark car. So, wash more frequently.

This is because of the low-oil content.

Thanks guys, I actually had some Menzerna power lock left over from a while ago. I completely forgot what a frikkin AWESOME product it is. It seems to have solved the dusting problem. Problem is, the customer that i'm doing some cars for right now lives up in the country side and on top of that has an unpaved driveway.
