Default whats wrong

Yesterday i detailed my car and all. I applied dodo juice supernatural wax onto my car. This morning when i took a look at my car there was all this dirt on it. Isnt the purpose of wax to repel dirt and such? My car isnt garaged but its under a roof...am i just trippin out?

The purpose of wax is to keep that dirt from getting to the paint. The wax is a very thin sacrificial barrier to acid rain, dirt, bird droppings, etc. No wax or sealant will keep dirt from accumulating on the surface in a dusty/harsh environment.

If the car was under cover you might be able to use a Quik Detailer and a plush microfiber to gently remove the dirt and dust. It there is a lot of dirt you will need to wash it off.

Lol, there aren't many anti-static waxes out there. Using a MF pretty much makes static on paint anyway. Also, if it windy, your car will get dusty no matter where it is

Blackfire Wet Diamond has Anti-Static agents that will help, also another one to look at is fk1usa.com.
