Dust will settle on anything and everything. Nothing "repels" dust.
Depending on the product you use will determine how easy it is to remove the dust. The Zaino Z-6 seems to remove any static and makes for a very slick surface. Most of the dust seems to just blow off. The oils in some products will hold onto the dust as well as static.

My experience with synthetics is there is a lot more static electricity generated put them on and with the airflow when being driven which attracts the dust. The morning sun comes though my window in the garage and you can see dust going sideways toward the car with synthetic polished. The oils in glazes and carnaubas just don’t generate that kind of static so attracts less dust.

Looks like Zaino has already figured out the sealants do create static and have take steps to correct the problem. This was PM me "Its super ANTI-STATIC properties will reduce dust and dirt PICKUP by up to 60%. The more you use Z-6 "Gloss Enhancer" spray the slicker and more dust-free your paint will be." Off the Zanio Website!!
