OK, Check this out...

I tried the Cali duster on my Twilight Blue coupe when I first got the car AND it will NEVER touch my car again... I used it on my wifes GS300 with no problem and my old car as well... (both were silverish). I never noticed the fine scratches the Cali duster put in... On my TB coupe I noticed tiny scratches being put into the finish after only using it twice.

My neighbor told me about something called the "KozaK" towel, I gave it a shot AND I LOVE IT. It is perfect between washes and leaves NO scratches in my finish... All you have to do is open the towel up and hold it on the corners and lightly drape it over the car, no rubbing... Check it out at www.kozak.com it works

hmmm, I use my duster up to three days after I wash my car and it works incredibly well on my diamond graphite coupe. BTW - I'm super picky.

The water blade is no good IMHO.

Microfiber towels rule!

I think you would use the Duster the most if you put your car in shows... that way while its parked in the venue you can just get the dust off easily...otherwise just wash the car..

The Cali duster is a great tool to have. However, it does have it's limitations. If my car has been sitting in my garage for a week after I washed it I can still use the CD. If the car was even out in the sun after I washed it then I don't use it. Once the dust sits on the car under the sun it tends to get baked on the paint. The only way to clean it is to wash it, using the CD at this point will just scratch your ride.

Thumbs up

I use mine a lot, but only if it has not been rained on. I also use the dash duster. Like anything, RTFM!! let the duster sit on newspapaper for a day or two before using. I have had mine for a couple of years, but, IIRC it said 24 hours on the paper to soak off excess parafin.

Anyone try the Kozak towels yet? If not give them a try, I think you will throw that Cali duster away after trying Kozak.
