using swiffer duster... maybe.

so like most of you, i enjoy washing my car.. but i HATE that after 2ish days its already dusty again... i was thinking this could be an easy way to take dust off and very cheap too. the only thing i wonder is if it could possibly scratch the car? its suppose to lift the dust if im correct though. any thoughts?

I think for light dust, this may work. If you want to use a duster though, you should look into a lambswool type of duster. Another option might be to look into quick detailers where you can spray it on, and wipe off the light dusting. I do want to stress, if you haven't noticed, LIGHT dust!

That's because 95% of people don't know how to use it correctly.

I've used the California Duster for years between outings, but SLICK is garage kept so there's very little dust and zero moisture. I use the Swifter duster on my Volks and my interior when it's clean...see what happens when you have OCD.
