I try to wash my car in those Esso car wash. I realize the back of the car will get dust on it so quickly after I drive for a very short distance. Is this normal?

Mine is the same way, though it doesn't help that the touchless place I go to sometimes seems to hardly hit the back, it does get very dirty very quickly.

Yes.

As for washing technique, you may want to read though the tutorials found here:

yes, all cars build up dust and dirt faster on the back than anywhere else due to how air flows around the back of the vehicle. It's impossible to avoid.

carry around a few micro fiber cloths with you and go over your car when it collects a little dust, takes just a couple minutes

If you're doing it, dry, it's a great way to damage the paint. Take a look at the QD tutorials link'd above.

Static electricity causes dust to cling to the paint. It is worst at the rear of the car due to as was mentioned previously, the airflow off the back of the car which then swirls around the bumper area. have found Chemical Guys anti-static detailing spray to work well to help mitigate this problem. http://www.chemicalguys.com/Exterior..._p/wac_116.htm

As FJF said, you do not want to run a mf towel over a dry surface full of dust or dirt. Spray some of the anti-static spray onto the rear of the car after washing. Then, buff out the paint gently with a mf towel. You should see a decrease in the amount of dust clinging on the paint.
