Well Kat, yes and no...If you let it soak in and then wipe off the excess, dust sticks no worse then on untreated cladding. If ya soak it down and then hit the long dusty, then it attracts dust pretty good; but it wipes right off. The really nice thing about WD40 (besides it's 1001 uses) is that it does not dry out plastics. As a matter of fact it helps protect it from drying out and cracking or fading. I've been using it for years on all kinds of vehicles on just about every surface imaginable and I'll swear by it! It's a fantastic detailer for under the hood and the entire chassis too. Makes tires look brand new without that high gloss look. The only tools you ever need to apply it with are a spray bottle (if ya buy it by the gallon like I do), a clean rag or towel, and an old (or new) paint brush. The brush works great for working it into crevices and such. Don't be afraid to experiment, it will not harm paint, plastics, wiring, upholstry, anything. It won't stain your hands and it doesn't smell bad either. Geez, I sound like I own the company or something...Did I mention that it dries out wet ignitions, removes grease and sticky-stuff, shines dull paint, lubricates, prevents rust.........?
