Dust build-up between polishing/waxing/buffing

Hi, I'm in need of some detailing advice.



I have a black car and as you all know, it shows a lot of dust. What I notice during my detailing session is between the different stages, even after drying from a full wash, there would be a build-up of dust on the paint surface. Is it safe to continue to polish/wax/buff without using QD to remove the dust? It gets tiresome and time-consuming to QD every layer.



Also, driving my car inside my garage would not work because my garage is quite dusty too...
 
The dust isn't going to hurt you, but it's always best to wipe the car down with PrepSol or IPA between steps anyway. The exception being lsp layering. I would also suggest doing your detailing inside your garage....even if it is dusty. Some products won't behave properly in direct sunlight.



As a side note, FK425 does a pretty good job at keep dust at bay. I'd be willing to bet the dust is coming from your products. FK won't help you if this is the case obviously.
 
An air compressor can be your best friend. I use it a lot during detailing and between washes. After driving my truck around for a couple of days I will take the air compressor and blow the dust off, it works well if you have a good LSP.
 
I use combos of the preceding posts- the compressor, #34, even ONR/QEW washes if I think that's warranted. Whatever the dust it, I want it off of there before I start rubbing on anything.
