Default White specs of dust?

Hey guys I just washed and waxed my car last night, but when I woke up this morning I found little specs of white dust on it already! I'm wondering if all you berlina owners have this kind of problem, or is it just me. And what should I use to take it off? I don't want to wash my car every 3 days..

I park under an overhang, so I do expect some dust, but only to a certain extent. I used to own a dark blue car before this and it didn't show nearly as much dust. I guess that's what I get for buying a black car. What I'm mostly asking is what do you guys use to just take off thin dust?

I mean I'm sure I'm not the ONLY one that doesn't park in a garage around here, lol.

just keep doing what you are doing. as long as you keep a coat of wax on it, it shouldn't damage your paint! as for keeping it clean, you may want to consider a car cover to keep the dust off your car. however, if you can live with it, a regular weekly or biweekly wash will be fine!

How about a California Car Duster? I use that between washes and it works for me

so if the dust isnt wax dust its gotta be just normal old fashioned dust!!

a duster followed by detail spray, and then a car cover...
if you dont have rain, the honda cover is the best "dust cover" around.
my car is under the honda cover unless i am in it-

hmmm, the only white dust i get up here is snow, which kind of transforms from a dust like snow covering to an burried to your head miserable experience. The s2000 sits in the garage all winter though. Winter is when the offroad truck gets most of its non offroad use.
