Stupid, Dusty Province!!

I clean my car twice over, give it the Meguiars 3 stage treatment and a coat of NXT, drive it to a movie, come out and theres already a layer of dust on the bloody thing 2 hours later. A layer that will not come off even at 140km/h. Does anybody have any tips on how to keep all the bloody dust on my car? I used the Quick Detailer spray while claying the car after washing it then sprayed on a bit afterwards because it claimed to help dust, but it doesn't seem to be doing much.

There will always be dust man.. no matter how much you clean.. I know.. working on conctruction sites. You see where and how bad it can get.. doesn't matter what stuff you use.. it's in the air.. it's all the pollutant that is still lingering around.. thanks to us btw.

Be glad you don't live here, one of the windiest city's in Canada. Lethbridge sucks big time for dust storms at times...

Only thing you can do is rinse, and wipe. I know what you mean tho. I get it even when my car is parked in the Garage. Figure in the garage it would be okay, but NOOOOOOooooooooooo... Damn dust. Damn Construction sites. Damn STREETSWEEPERS!!

Yeah, I know, construction was my old summer job back in 1st year, you'd come home every day, sneeze into a Kleenex and it'd be half dust. All the construction, street cleaning and lack of rain messes up all my poor cleaning. When I was in Vancouver you could go a whole bloody month w.out washing your car, theres not an ounce of dust over there.
