Loving my ride but...
I think I'm beginning to understand why the previous owner parted ways with my car. I was told that my car was painted Azure blue, not dirt-magnet blue ha ha. A year or so ago, I worked at a car dealership and the detail guys were trying to convince the general manager to use a product that repels dust and keeps the finish nicer longer. If such a product exists, there has never been a more beautiful car in such dire need of such a product as my Mustang. Any suggestions???

I'd be leery of any specific product that purports to make a finish last longer. The only real way of stretching the life of the finish is regular maintenance, elbow grease, proper wash/compound/polish/wax techniques, all combined with quality products and buffing cloths. Obviously the finish of a garage kept vehicle will certainly extend it's life.
As far as repelling dust, there's no magic bullet. The person who invents a product that keeps dust and/or pollen completely off a car will become very, very rich.
However, I've recently begun using Croftgate detail products including their rinseless wash. Specifically they make a spray top coat called Quick-n-Slick which contains no VOC's or petroleum and is somewhat effective at keeping garage dust off the finish....not 100%, but I find that the amount of dust is reduced. But forget about pollen....nothing works as far AFAIK.
