i use it everyday, no marring, no streaks.. then again, my car almost never sees dirt that isnt washed off almost immediately. the duster is used between washes if the car is ONLY dusty. my family has owned a car detailing business for 16 years now, and i have worked it since day one. My duster works great for daily dustings. if there is road sludge flung on the car, tire grime on it, or dirt of any sorts(especially if someone mowed around the car and flung dust and dirt), I simply choose to rinse it off. after a commute of 50+ miles, on clear days, i just come home and dust it off. If there is anything that might be picked up in the duster that could potientially scratch, its rinsed off instead.
BTW-if your also thinking about the water blade, dont try it on the G, the paint is too soft. Older cars can handle it better.
hope this helps

Remeber there is a difference between DUST and DIRT. LIke what peeps said above, dust should be ok, but if the car is left outside....ehhhh it's a risk. All you need is a heavy dirt particle and you're screwed. Not to mention, if you think of their slogan....."the dirtier it gets the better it works"....Hmmmmm do you really want to wipoe your car with something that is dirty. I used it on my truck with good results and tried it on the G once and won't use it again on the G.

Yes, works fine for me for DUST only. I think the streaking some get is when it's first used. Somewhere I read a suggestion to wrap a new one in newspaper for a while and that takes away some of the wax so it won't leave the streaks. seem to work for me. I'm not sure where you live but in CT the dust/pollen has been brutal this year and I think using QD without first using a duster might be difficult as the dust/pollen can get heavy in just one day. If you have black paint you may wish to be careful. good luck.

i would advise that you do not "dust" the bottom of the fenders, and the sides of the rear bumper... tire shine that was applied to heavily, or didnt have enough time to soak in will sling onto thoses pannels, once you get tire shine on the duster its trash, it will streak everywhere, i let mine sit for months and blew it wil an air gun at work frequestly and still streaked up, so i threw it out.... i use my new one for top surfaces and higher portion of the doors, quarter ect... use quick detailer and a towel for the lower surfaces.
