Why do you need that? IIRC MF towels require some static to remove dust...

Just get OID or FK425 as a final wipedown to get rid of the static

Sorry "Swirl Free Crew" I did not give enough details. The car gets static after being wax. After the day that the car gets wax, the car gets attracted by dust. I saw a youtube video from "jetblackcar", using an antistatic towel after waxing the car, to kill the static from the car's paint so later you won't have much dust/debris attraction. That's all. So, it made me decided to get that towel. It's much easier and faster way than using the QD i think.

Try Anti static QD spray; or misting it with QD and Distilled water (it should reduce the static charge)

If its outside 24/7 you can't do much about it other than slowing the process down with OID or FK425. While I have never heard of this anti static towel, I know for sure those QDs work. I use them quite often on my ES and RX. Obviously, as the RX is a garage queen, it gets one heck of a lot less dust on it. Sides, QD'ing a car takes like 5 min max
