Dust
Is there any wax or product that is less resistant to attracting dust? My Blade Silver GS seems to be magnet for collecting dust. I us the ca duster drive the car park it and over night it's full of dust, it is parked inside a garage and covered if I am not going to use it for a couple of days. Just wondering what options and or suggestions may be out there.

Mine's in the garage when I'm not on it and it gets dusty. Not sure where the h*77 it comes from but that blue really doesn't hide it... by the time I hit 3rd gear most of it's gone though. 
I *think* it being ceramic coated helps a LOT.

It is probably coming in under your garage door. We have the Santa Ana's and can get gusts of wind upto 50+ miles per hour. If I am out in the garage, I can see and feel the swirls of dust and it deposits a pile of leaf debris at the garage door when I open it.
They make a strip that can be attached to the garage door that will block that gap between the concrete and the door. That might be a solution.

I'm pretty sure the main attractant is from fiberglass body (static electricity), not the wax. Your location, weather patterns and, vegetation will be your biggest factors in what your experience. Wax will help in not letting whatever contaminates your come across, from taking root. The California Duster will be your best friend. I've had the same one since 1979.

i've heard folks say using a duster is like a mini dust storm!!
i used one on a triple black sl500 for 10 years, seemed to prove this statement, tons of scratches!!

Probably a cheap knock off. Been using California Duster for over 20 years and my Black Hummer never showed any from it. Sounds like maybe you used a car wash too. 🤷♂️
