After all was said and done I did one last test._ I took my MB ML to Death Valley for a little off road excursion. I did half the car with Zaino and the other half with Malms._ Each side was done per the manufacturers instructions._ Check out what happened...it's very obvious.

What's very surprising is which side collected all that dust.

By now you must have figured out that I wouldn't be making a big deal out of this is it wasn't the obvious outcome._ I expected Zaino to repel dust more than a regular carnauba, BUT NOO!!!_ It's Malms that has the little dust on it.

Very Surprising indeed._ Now I know why my previous car which was black always looked dirty._ Zaino was attracting dust on it like crazy.

To me they look equally dusty.

Ed:

The first picture is the one comparing the two halves of the hood. Do you really feel both sides of the hood in that picture look equally dusty?



Charles:confused:
 
I can't tell which side is which. But I do notice that Zaino does attract alot of dust, something that really sucks when you waste your weekend putting it on your car, drive it for 5 minutes and it looks like a turd because it's got so much dust on it. And the kicker is you can't safely get the dust off, unless you wash the car. Who wants to wash the car daily?!@$ I'm afraid to use a Cali duster, and despite how Sal Z says I can use a towel and Z6 and get the dust off with that, that just sounds to abrasive to me.
 
Hmmm.... I noticed a very fine layer yesterday.

Right after I spent the weekend doing it, I tucked it away in the garage. Yesterday I drove it 1.7 miles and parked it for 8 hours out doors. End of day there was a thin noticable layer.



Hoping the Z7 helps too. Did a little of the MF towel and Z6, wasn't too bad. Just have to be careful.
 
Finishing with Z6 seems to do a good job of removing the static electricity that attracts the dust.
 
The local weather conditions must play a factor in Zaino dust attraction. I have been using Z for a long time now and dust has never been a problem for me, in fact it hardly attracts any dust at all. :nixweiss
 
Bogus Comparison.....



You can't mix products on a panel to test for dust attraction. The static charges are not going to miraculously stop at the border of one product in the middle of a panel. One would have to use a different product on 2 identical cars and compare for a good comparison......
 
To get from my house to the nearest asphalt I have to drive 1/3 mile on crushed granite, and even at very low speeds there is a lot of non-water soluble dust on the rocker panels and rear. As a result I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with dust removal. A pre-drive wipe down with Z-6 seems to reduce dust attraction. A very light touch with a CCD is ok for removal, but a light misting with Z-6 and a very light wipe with Z-6 is a little better. Moderate pressure with either method will cause marring!

Sorry but just curious .. if we cannot compare this way ... why do both sides of the bonnet have different amt of dust on it if the static charge is suppose to be even over the whole panel?



No offence :D don't flame me lolz just curious :xyxthumbs
 
Dust collection is the result of many factors. Static charge is one of them, but others include slickness, smoothness, shape and orientation of body panels, and how "oily" a product is.

Then won't it be more "fair" in a sense to take the same panel and rub each half with different products rather than taking 2 different cars with 2 different panels (bonnets in this case) and rubbing them on as each bonnet may have different smoothness, slickness and even static charge on it? :D



Was just wondering on that bogus comparison and why you find that comparison unfair ...



Please do not think in anyway that I wrote that article :D its not mine ...
