I might try that. I guess it wouldn't hurt anything either way. How many coats did you use?

Quick detailer and then wax it. Perks to having a daily driver.

Hopefully I'll have a daily driver next year and Pegasus can relax until I decide to take him for a spin.

Charged = static. Black cars are bad enough for showing dust, but 20x worse after you wax. If you use microfiber to remove the wax it you probably have a ton of static.

I always rinse my car after waxing & dry it with an absorber which removes most of the static electricity.

Wow so after wash & wax then you have to rinse it again with just pure water to remove static and use non microfiber towels to dry? Why the hell did I buy OB color G that's double work

Just a rinse & dry. Part of the joy in owning OB. If you don't have the time use a spray bottle/water.
