I think the California dusters are better. I've used the alot and they work very well. The trick with them is the duster head is infused with parafin wax, which the dust sticks to. That's why they don't scratch. But they are really only good for light dust, like what you get after you've let the car sit for a few hours. Also don't just plop the whole thing on your car and swish it around. Just let the dusting part brush the surface by holding it about 1" off the car. Use a down and away motion so any dust that falls out goes onto the ground, not your car.

As for wind, it can be a big problem with covers as it can blow dust and dirt under the car and then flap the cover against your paint. The cover you bought comes with a tie-down string for just this purpose so you can cinch the bottom tightly. But if it's a particulaly windy day, it would be better to forget the cover.

Also, you should wash your cover often. It won't trap dirt much, but some will cling to it just from static electricity so it's a good idea to keep it clean.
