after car is waxed?

dont cars look awesome after theyve been waxed and have a awesome shine?

thing is, ive noticed with my cars that after i wax them...they turn into dust magents! after a day or two there covered in dust...ive never known how to approach this, well, what i always do is take it to the self wash place and just hose it down and dry it

any other way of getting it clean? damp cloth? duster?

I have used a California duster and that works really well. Just make sure to shake it out before/after use so nothing gets stuck in it. I only use it for dust/pollen though, and not when the car is really dirty.
