Default dust attraction

Do ceramic coatings and paint sealers attract as much dust as carnauba wax?

I recently did the Adams Advanced formula on my C8. I can say that the dust problem is considerably less. However, I know not what carnauba would do. I would add that the Adams is relatively easy to apply. Hope that helps in some way.

More to it than just the product, it’s also the environment, was/dry techniques. All come into play. In the end, my experience is sealants attract a little less. SInce the ceramic is about level, it’s other properties for me make it the better option. But know you car is inherently but nature going to attract dust, as the resin in the clear coat is a positive charge.
After washing, try a quick wipe with an ever so damp microfiber. Water will eliminate the static charge. Also a QD may help eliminate the attraction ( nothing will prevent it besides being in a bubble

if it has wax in it - it will collect dust - in the sun / heat the the wax will get soft and dust will stick to it (put a wax candle on your hood and watch how soft it gets
