As long as you let it air out for 24 hours as instructed and don't drop it on the ground it works miracles! Use it every morning before I go to work as long as it isn't raining. Won't scratch the paint as long as you use it to lightly dust the car. Went to a carshow one time and saw a guy that looked like he was forcefully scrubbing his car with it, almost face-palmed, it was that bad.

I have used the duster for years,on the bike and vette, (one for each)

The only thing with the pollen,if you dust it daily fine, but do not let the pollen buildup a couple of days or so,in which case the duster will not really be that effective.At least here in the Northeast.

Try raping it in paper towel and let it sit in the sun for a day or so.

Used them for many years. Found it best to use it with just the tips of the duster touching the paint. Leaves no streaks, yet gets the dust. Works best on a clean, waxed car that just gets a light coating of dust.

As others have said, the more they are used, the better they work.

Yep, greatest thing since sliced bread. I've been using it for many many years. At a car show, it is vital to dust the car before the judges come by.

Yes use one all the time. Just don't push down on it just let the weight of the duster glide over the paint.

I think its cool anytime

as for the car duster, every day when leaving work,
step one: car duster,
step two: mothers showtime quick detailer,
leaves me with

Think I got my first one about 1992 used it on my black 91 454SS show truck. You know how black is to keep clean. Gave it to the new owner when I sold in in 04. (He is still using it!)

Have another that I started using on my 98 vert and then a 05 vert and now on my 07 Z06. Never leave home without it.

Been using mine for years on light dust between washings, it's fantastic!

Perhaps I need to give my California Duster another chance. It kept leaving red lint everywhere, so I must have failed to break it properly.

Corvette Junkie

For that work it over good with a vacuum.

Mine works great on dust (black '06). I've had it for years. Just follow the directions exactly - first wrap it in paper when new to absorb excess wax, shake it out before and after each use, sweep with a light touch.

Is it better than a quick detailer wipe down?

Duro

I wouldn't say better but it is much faster.

Corvette Junkie

I use it to get the dust off before quick detailer.

truckplay

Before it leaves the garage and when it returns, as well as wiping the exhaust tips

I use the duster lightly to remove any loose dust etc then wipe down with Griot's speed-shine to get any stuck-on dust etc.
Do it almost daily on my DD.

I have had one for thirty years! Washed once (not a good idea) and still going strong.

I can't understand why they are called a 'California Duster'.

The better quality 'Original California Duster' have a wood handle (not plastic) and are made in Korea ... should be called a 'Korean Duster'

Can't beat those things; especially on black! Use it correctly and you WON'T damage the paint or leave streaks.
