California Duster
Hey guys just wanted to let you all know, that when you wanna keep your car clean and shiny between that period of not getting ur car washed, use the california duster, its jsut a special duster with some wax IN the duster so say in the morning before you start driving you use it on ur car and it really looks like its new. it works great and its cheap. you can buy it at pep boys autozone or places like that. DONT use it when your car is hot though.. enjoy

Re: California Duster
The package says that it will leave was streaks the first few time you use it (Part of the curing process). Mine did that also, but now it is working just fine. I dust the car after every trip, about an hour after I garage the car at home. Keeps it nice and shiny.
I was looking at a web site called Griots Garage, and they recommended a daily dusting, followed by a quick detailing spray and wipe to keep the car clean between washes.

Re: California Duster
So basically if there is too much dust on my car i should just wash it? I just washed it but it got dirty since i had to park in a dusty area when i went to Knotts the other day. So should i wash or just use the Califronia Duster? I am afraid that i mgiht scratch the paint if i use it now. Any advise?
Re: California Duster
That's the thing I've always been afraid of with the 'Duster'- scratches! Dragging any kind of grit off your car can't be good for the paint can it? Those of you with black cars, notice any fine scratches using the California Duster?

Calfornia Duster hasn't scratched my paint. I use it as prep before I quick detail my car. I assume calfornia duster is no more dangerous to the paint as a wash. The wax coats the dust and acts as lubricant. I wouldn't dust really dirty car. I use mine every other day with weekly washings.

Re: California Duster
i use it on my car everday and i have a black car, the first few times i was a little afriad of fine scratches, but i havent noticed any really. it workds great, just DONT use it when your car is hot or when its been sititng out in the sun, its not a good idea cause the wax on the duster will come off easier adn it wont look too good 
but without that its great and worth the 10 bucks

Re: California Duster
I love the Duster, here are tips for best usage: Before you use it rap it in newspaper for 4 days, changing the paper every day. then before using it on your car wipe the dust from the TV sceens in your house. This might seem odd but it works great. The dust on your TV screens is just light enough to neutralize any excess wax.

Re: California Duster
The trick to using the California Duster at first is do it on another car..
The more the duster gets used..the better it becomes...
I use it on mine..and now it doesn't leave streaks anymore...

Re: California Duster
I've had mine for years. It's a plastic handled duster with red mop-like head. BTW I've seen them at Target.

Re: California Duster
something to note . . .
there are two versions of the large california duster , , ,
one with a white plastic habdle - the volume unit sold everywhere -
the other with a wooden handle - it is the deluxe model - much better. it has more material and thicker material. it is also less likely to leave those wax trails those of us with darker colours see .my old white handled one was leaving wax for over a year on my black car . . .
when i discovered the wood handled deluxe model, i enjoyed the difference so much, i started stocking them . . .
it you can find it - get it and use it . . they dont scratch as long as you only use them on a dusty car, not a dirty car . . and lightly drag the ends of the duster across the paint, dont rub it . .
