I disagree with above comment. I detailed high end cars while I was going to USC, and have been using this duster daily on my cars for the last 35 years. That advice might hold some weight if your car doesn't have a coat of wax on it or isn't garaged. But if it is garaged and is waxed at least a few times a year, this will keep your car looking freshly washed all the time. I start the car and then spend 45 seconds dusting the whole car and then drive off. I had a Porsche before this Infiniti and it looked showroom condition all the time in large part thanks to this duster. I almost forgot the point of my post. In memory of the 99c stores closing down, a great memory of mine about 5-6 years ago was walking in one day to look around and saw a whole shelf filled with these original California Car Dusters with the wooden handle (premium) for $6.99. Bought about 5-6 of them, which will last the rest of my life. I'm currently using one that's been in use for 15+ years of daily use. They keep working better and better the dirtier they get.

Please don't use this on your car's paint. Pushing around dry dirt and dust will add scratches and swirls to your paint.

It's advisable to spray on some form of lubricant such as quick detailer or rinseless wash, and then use a damp microfiber towel to pick up the encapsulated particles. This reduces chances of scratching, and also has the added benefit of leaving a layer of protection on top of your paint.

There's nothing wrong with using these, I've been using them for years. Properly used, they are a great addition to your car care regiment. Like anything, you have to be smart about it. The car should be waxed or coated, all of mine have ceramic now and have for years. I live in the desert where it rains dust...I use these every day. You give it a spritz of detailing spray or waterless wash before use. Otherwise, it will build up static and attract more dust. You glide this over the car, without using pressure. Halfway done, shake it out and give it another mist. If I miss more than 2 days, I break out the waterless wash instead. Most don't have the dust I do, so YMMV. Once a month, pull the head off and wash it in the sink. A must.

I show my cars. Go to any car show and you'll see these all over the place.

Again, these are for dusty cars, not dirty cars.

I've had one of these for many years. It is great for cleaning dust off the car in between actual car washes. I'm in SoCal, so it gets used a lot. In for a new one... Thx OP!

I am with you. This is the proper way to remove dust from car paint. When using the so-called duster like this, it would be like scrubbing the dust across the car paint back and forth, resulting in scratches or swirls. We need to have a lubricant when removing dust, such as quick detailer or waterless wash chemicals with a microfiber towel, gliding in one direction and not in a circular motion. One biggest myth is a coated car will not get scratches which is absolutely wrong.
