Woud you recommend CA. Car Duster?

[unklekraker]

as mentioned in the subject, would you recommend California Car duster to remove dust off the car when it's not covered. I'm just having hard time using the towel to dust off my car...or is there other brand/alternative beside car cover that you guys would recommend? I do have a car cover (from wal mart, got the idea from here) but sometimes i dont feel like putting it so I could see the box before i go to work...hehehehehehe!

I store my 911 and quit covering it as the cover was harder on the paint then brushing with the duster, but then I also use a leaf blower to remove water after washing. I actually got both ideas from a friend who spent more for the paint on his Ferrari then both of my P-cars cost.

I have a ca car duster in my trunk, it works great. On black its night and day. Just make sure the car is dry.

I cover my '00 S religiously and use the CA Car Duster before each installation to prevent the cover from rubbing the dust into the paint. Works great.

I used to use a leaf blower to dry my RX8. Then folks at work told me I was probably sandblasting the paint (unless I had some decent filtering mechanism on the blower). They were just joking around, but that was enough to scare me into not blowing the car dry again.

I probably wouldn't use it... mom had one, and man, that thing got dirty. You really want to rub that crap all over your car again and again??

No, its got a parafin coating that helps it. It says, the dirtier it gets, the better it cleans. Ive used mine a lot, when I saw a lot, I mean everyday after parking in a dirt parking lot in the hot summer heat for monthes (skatepark). And it still works great. Ive had mine for a year I think.

Well, at the very least it is probably kicking up dust off the ground and redepositing everywhere, including your car.

Been using one for years and am happy with it but do not use it on a hot car that has been sitting in the sun as the small amount of wax that they apply to the mop to pick up the dust will actually melt and leave streaks on your finish. Won't damage the finish but it looks like hell... I know from experience.

I've used one for years, just keep it away from the windows...
