It's really not that bad!!!.. I dont understand why people think that's it's so hard lol.
Personally.. AFTER A GOOD THOROUGH WASH if you CALIFORNIA SWEEPER/DUSTER (whatever you call it) the car [considering there's JUST dust on the car, nothing thick such as mud or massive amounts of bird poo and the like]
By sweeping in one motion.. then shaking.. repeat... and follow up with a QUICK DETAIL (of whatever the quick detailer the wax you use prefers) you can go up to a week to a week and a half without washing.. it actually helps too.. and remember to not go in circular motions while quick detailing.. just front to back.. lightly too.
Make sure to also use 2 microfibers.. i highly suggest using microfibers ONLY while doing the duster/quick detailer combo because the surface isn't as clean as it would be as if you were to actually wash it. by using the microfibers with a gentle touch, swirls are more likely to not make an appearance.
*Guaranteed satisfaction in 15 min. or your money back.
* = money back really not guaranteed.. it's just a gimmick.. sorry fellows/fellowettes

ohhhhhhhh Big Deal Too !!!!
Remember To Follow The Instructions For The California Duster. It Says To Leave The Duster Outside On A Newspaper Or So For 2 Days Before Using It. The Duster Contains Some Type Of Wax Or Something That Needs To Be Aired Out In Order To Work Properly. Remember To Read The Instructions Before Use.. Just Letting You Guys Know

California Car Duster all the way!! Dust shows up really easily on my Daytona Blue Z and this thing works great. Make sure you get the more expensive one (there are two versions: one larger one with a wooden handle, and a cheaper smaller one that Target / Walmart sells). The instructions say to leave the Cali Duster wrapped in newspaper for a week to let the excess paraffin wax soak out. If you don't, a lot of excess wax (this wax is what "attracts" dust to the duster) will be left on your car. It won't damage it though. Just don't use the Cali duster in direct sunlight if it's real hot outside because you don't want the sun melting the excess wax onto your car.
edit: a lot of people follow the Cali duster up with a quick detail with a microfiber towel... some do this every day! IMO, just the Cali Duster every day is sufficient for me, considering I wash my car once a week. Hope this helps.

You guys are right on track...
But washing/dusting the G every night or every morning...Too much for me..That is exactly why I like the "Colors". After zainoing my car stays much cleaner than the wifes black car...even when the light dust does appear it is about 80% less noticable on my red car than her black one...
I have owned black cars in the past, and ya they look great when they are clean, but they dont stay like that very long, therefore be prepared for frequent washing/dusting.
Just my 2 cents...
