tho I'm only on my second black vette. Before those I had a '98 Torch Red. My triple black vert is by far the easiest car that I've had to detail.

I was having the same dust build up until I switched from wax and Quick Detailer to Dry Wash. Dry Wash is a polymer that does not build up and dust does not build up as fast plus no swirls. Good luck

Link to "Dry Wash"? Any opinions about how it stacks up to Rejex or Zaino?

Wow, finally a post saying it's not so bad! A few questions though...
1) How long have you had your Vette?
2) How many miles?
3) Daily driver?

Don't get black. That will make mine that much more unique.
