Hey Daisy,

I had a similar problem. I'd get mine all washed and polished and next next day it was covered in dust! I park in a gravel car park at work so that makes things 10 times worse.

I got one of these on ebay though:

It's magic, takes all the dust right off and only takes about 30 seconds to do the car. Do it before going to work, and before leaving to drive home for maximum poser effect :)

Only really good when its been dry though as once it rains the dust all sticks to the car and needs a proper wash.Image

that'd be nice, but i don't think my dad would agree! also i don't live close enough to my dads house to garage there, i take my car to his to wash it cos he's got a good setup for that, (and lots of nice autoglym products)
