Hello, not sure if anyone has thought about this but when polishing and waxing using the plastic MF cloths and sponges the car will build a static charge. I noticed the effect of this about two hours after applying LSP. The car was covered in dust like it was a magnet. It makes sense so wondered if anyone had any ideas of preventing this. My idea was to earth the car by attaching an earthing strip some how, maybe a copper wire from exhaust to the ground whilst polishing and waxing. Appreciate any thoughts. Cheers, Dan.

Try not using plastic mf clothes etc .
I use mf pads and have no problem .
Perhaps ask the question on www.detailingworld.co.uk
Great site (as is this one ).

It's more likely to do with dry weather pollen and wind direction although ceramic spray on waxes/quick detailing sprays can attract even more than other lsp's
Did try to register on DW but my email is banned apparently and the admin team did not get back to me to try to help. I think most MF cloths and waxing pads are made from plastic unfortunately (e.g. polyester/nylon) but the weather has been very dry lately so will blame that for now. Cheers, Dan
