I didn't have to say anything in my post

Don't use the car duster on a black car. It will pick up sand and grit and end up scratchin the paint.

this may be a dumb question but what about a car cover? would it not keep the car a little more dust-free b/t washes?

Nah not a dumb question S2020. I bought a car cover from Stillen and i use it at night and when it doesn't rain. The only issue i have with it is there are some streak marks when i pull it off in the morning. I'm not sure what it is At any rate i still wipe them off with my MF towel. Most of the dust i get is due to my "semi-covered" parking at the office and so dust flies everywhere from landscapers to road construction.

Down_Shift: Exactly! You didn't have to say anthing at all the beauty of a clean black car says it all! So you don't advise on the California Car scratcher huh...That's cool...I'd been adamant about buying one for a while now anyways...By the way, which side skirts do you have?

Thanks for the Input everyone!

You should not cover a car daily also. When you cover a unwashed car, you will be keeping all the grit/dust/sand under the cover. The sand will eventually build up on the cover, making the cover scuff up your car.

What you can do is do a very detailed wash once a month or every 2 months. And when you feel the car isn't up to par for the night out, take it to the touch free wash or do a quick wash yourself with a very mild carwash (dry it accordingly so you don't get streaks)

I did a 4 hour long not so detailed wash on the car (wash/clay/wash/nxt wash/leather/vacuum) yesterday to prep for the meet on Saturday. That way Friday night I will just do a quick hand wash and be ready for the meet. The meet starts at 8am, so I won't have time on Saturday.

Sideskirts are Kenstyle.

Wow that's some time well spent! Thanks for the advice on not covering it daily....i guess i need to take my cover to the wash to get rid of what's on the inside...Thanks again...

rediculously obsessed. Twice to three times a week depending on how dirty it gets and the weather. When it rains i usually clean it right afterwards.

so what is the best tool to dust and not scratch?
california duster or one of those swiffer dusters?

i hate this time of the year. pollen and dust are just attracted to my car. before i was even done washing/drying my car yesterday, i had a layer of dust on the opposite end of the car. so frustrating.
