it's too soon after paint to have protection on it, right? I would say just regular quick detailer. I remember you saying the paint needed to offgas for 4 months before final polish by the bodyshop, so until that, any QD should be fine.
Then I would recommend getting it ceramic coated, then the dust shouldn't "stick" as much to paint. I really have been liking the P&S Bead Maker.

Bead Maker now makes paint protection easier and faster than ever before. Bead Maker's unique formulation allows for quick spray application. This time saving product uses binding polymer monomer technology to produce a water beading, brilliant, long lasting finish. Bead Maker may be applied to...

I would just like to remove some of the dust prior to using a QD. My OCD wont let me rub all that dust on the paint without removing some of it. I ceramic my DD but my 71 I want to experiment with different waxes and shit
You could also use some ONR and give it a quick "wash" that way.

If it's just dusty, you could in theory wash it in under 20 mins.
I have a bunch of these 2L garden sprayers, 1 with Brake Booster and 1 with AMMO Boost for winter wash. The 3rd one I have an ONR type mix in there (I use the Wolfsgange SiO2 rinseless wash) and in addition to mixing up standard ONR in a bucket in a gallon for a wash. A little pre-rinse with the hand sprayer (or in your case for the dust) spray on the panels and wipe dry.
How long did your guy tell you to wait? My body guy said with modern water based paints today you don’t have to wait that long if you “bake” it. He said 2-3 weeks and I waited a month before putting protection on my Mustang.
ONR or McKees N914.
Have to encapsulate the dust to minimize marring. Neither leave any protection behind

30 days for like a normal wax, but no ceramic or anything like that at all. He wants the car to sit in the sun as much as possible. Then late Oct/early Nov, he said it should be fully cured. Then he wants to polish it one more time.

Ordered some supplies up.........
I missed my window this year to polish and coat the bmw, normally i try to do it around march/april while the weather is still reasonable, but now it is anything but
we're well into the monsoon now so every day is some form of high winds/dust followed by just a smidge of rain. In fact currently I cant even see out of my window as rain is streaming down it.
Its not that my car doesn't have any protection on it right now, but I just want something FRESH on it to help get it thru the rest of the year, cuz it's not in great shape at the moment. If everything goes the way its supposed to I SHOULD have a 5 day weekend coming this weekend for 4th of july, so my plan is to give the car a quick (if thats even possible) detail/machine polish and get some fresh protection on it to help cope w/ this shitty fucking weather.
Not going for a FULL paint correction. Just wanna clean the paint up for the new protection, and whatever swirls I manage to clean up will just be a bonus. Going with 3D One polish again and uro fiber pads because I was quite pleased w/ the results w/ that last time I used it. And instead of a full ceramic right now, I'm gonna try out Lithium's ceramic slam spray on coating. Seen a lotta good stuff about it and have always wanted to give it a shot. Was thinking about it more for the GTO since that car doesn't face the same abuse my BMW gets, but this will be a good test.
July with triple digit temps and monsoon weather is NOT the time to be doing this but since I dropped the ball this year I have no choice. This environment is really starting to take a toll on this cars paint.
