Default Help with Dust?

Is there a quick cleaner or polish that doesn't attract dust? I have tried several over the years, but they all seem to have the dust problem. I can clean the bike up, take it out for a ride and when I park it, the dust is back. My last bike was silver in color, so it didn't show dust as bad as this red does. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bennie.

Go to any auto parts store and buy a "Dash Duster", found near the big "Car Duster" mops. I have one and it's the best for a quick dusting of the bike. Just make sure the bike and it's parts are cool. Don't try using it on hot engine or pipes

I just use a good old fashioned feather duster to knock the dust off.

Protect All doesn't seem to attract as much dust as some other products. http://www.protectall.com/ The proper "California" duster works good too.
