"California Car Duster" *Pro's & Cons*


I'm just curious as to how many members actually use this product or somthing simular. What do you guys think about this product and would you recommend using this regularly between washes?

My car is not garaged since I live in an aptartment, so I need an alternative to washing it every other day . A car cover is my other option if the cons outweigh the pros for this product.

Please do share your thoughts and or experiences.

-Nick

Thumbs up
I've used one for the past 5 years and have been very happy. I have a garage, but if I use mine every day, I can keep the 4Runner looking like new, that is unless it rains. We had a dry spell in Michigan and I went 3 weeks before a wash.

It takes less than 5 minutes to do the whole truck.

The smaller interior duster is also great to compliment the larger version.

i use it.
pretty much does a good job getting rid of dust, that's it. i had for years, about three years and never washed it, still cleans, dust my cars. one thing when it is new ( i got 2) it sheds some tiny fibers onto my truck (no biggie they can be blown away) then after that its a good duster.

I use one on my 2001 Cobra and as long as you're just removing pollen and dust they work great. As previously stated, no scrubbing, just float it across the surface. My car sits in a garage and I can go a very long time between washes if I use the brush on a regular basis.

A couple things...

Make sure you follow the directions and let is sit for a day on some newspaper before you use it. That allows the excess waxes on the duster to be soaked up.

Also, never use it when the truck is hot. Otherwise, you'll end up with little wax streaks from the duster on the windows.

I also reccomend some Meguiars Quik Detailer spray for following up the dusting. It is like a quick wash out of a spray bottle.
