Default Best Dust Removal Method

The best way IMHO to clean a dusty car is to:
1. Take car out of garage
2. Pick up garden hose and rinse off dust
3. Take electric power blower and blow dry till all water droplets are gone
4. You are now done and you never touched your cars paint!

Just ordered one myself.

I bought mine here:

Get a friend to buy one with you so you can buy 2 at a discounted price and split on shipping.

p.s. If you order a CA Duster, make sure you order one with the wood handle. From what I've read on autopia the ones with plastic handles have shorter strands of fiber on them. The quality from the wood ones are much better. Plus they have the bling factor that NFR LOVES.

Lastly, you need to wrap your duster in newspaper the first few weeks so it sucks out the extra parafin (the wax on the duster). If you do not do this you might experience some streaking. Remember, it is for DUSTING. Washing your car is for dirt. You will not scratch your car if you use it for what it is inteded for.

I just can't bring myself to touch a dry dusty car with anything but water.
