Default What is best way to remove dust?

Since it doesnt rain much here, All I get is dust/sand on my car.
I have dust remover but I am little concerned that dust remover might cause scratches.
So I WASH my car very often(at least 2 times a week).

What's your suggestions? TIA

California Car Duster is what I use, it seems gentle enough, you can pick it up at almost any auto store, it is a stick about 2.5 feet long, about 2 feet of it are surrounded with the dusting material so you don't have any hard parts that can scratch the car.

The California duster works well. Make sure you use it gently and ONLY on dust.

California Duster here too. If you have sand, you should blow that off first with and air gun.
They also make a baby Cali Duster. Here's what it looks like and yes, the dirtier they get the better they work.

If you buy one, make sure you "season" it first before using.

cali duster here also. i could do without the parafin that comes off sometimes, but that's better than swirl marks.

and if you really wanna keep it clean, go over it with the duster, take off any other dirt or debris on the car (usually where the tires might have spit something out), then finish it off with a coat of Z-6, or your detailing spray of choice. you'll be done in about 15 mins.

The cali duster is fine, I prefer the ergonomics of the Dustglove. (personal opinion) - also, the Dustglove is a fraction of the price of the Cali Duster.

i like the duster too... follow it by a detailers spray- vrm prob has some ideas on products for this-

also agree with the comments not to use the duster if you have sand on the car- that would be a recipe for swirls at least!

wortham- i wonder if you seasoned your duster (roll it in newspaper overnight) before using it. it shouldnt streak.
