Theres a number of factors that are contributing if you notice more dust.

 

1) Static charge - rubbing on a car with pads and towels is like when you were a kid and would drag your feet when you had socks on then shock your siblings when you touched them. You've introduced a static charge to the car. A wipe down with Waterless really helps this.

 

2) Static charge part II - if you're caring for your towels properly you aren't using fabric softener, which means your towels are charged already, that transfers to the car.

 

3) Its more noticable when its clean - when a car is swirled or less than completely detailed its hard to see the dust buildup separately from the rest of the issues.

 

4) Wax - To some degree a big particle paste wax like Americana is going to make it easier for settled dust to hold onto the surface, but its also providing a barrier of protection making removal of the dust safer.

Make sense. Thanks! I did noticed some vendors actually claim that their quick detailer will reduce the dusting on your paint. I think they call it "Anti-Static" properties or some sort. I have no idea if it actually works.
