Can't find any real or concensus thread on dust removal which occurs daily. Can't wash daily, can you?

 

Get a California duster. Works immensely well. Just remember to NEVER wash it because it will get rid of the oil on it used to pick up dust. Getting a car cover is another solution.

 

California Dusters are the best.. The more you use it the better it gets..

 

Also get the baby one for the interior.

 

I've got both the regular and smaller size, but they are new and seems to leave waxy/oily marks, particularly the interior. I had an old one for my black Saab 9-5 that worked great, but I also ran that through carwashes - high pressure washes as well and didn't care as much about that paint and finish as I do my black beauty stook. Saab took on swirl marks.

Any ideas?

 

They say that a new duster needs to be "treated" by wrapping it newspapers for a day or so to get most of the waxy stuff the come off. Spread out the "mop" head on a newpaper layer or 2 and wrap it up. It gets better the more you use it.

 

Thanks XViper, I'll give it a try. I loved how it dusted the Saab, just didn't want to get the black beauty "scuffy". This is exactly what I was looking for- something easy to take off the everyday dust in a short period off time like the Cal duster.

 

Yep, California Duster is the way to go. Even WalMart sells them for under $10. Has saved me hours of washing the Stook.

 

I've used a duster for years they are great. However, never use it if the car is warm, it will melt the wax that's used to collect the dust. Also use the duster before you install a car cover. It helps protect the paint and keeps the inside of the cover clean.

Just don't use it on a hot vehicle!
The material that picks up the dust can heat up and start to melt leaving a residue on your paint!
