Default What do you use to clean dust?

Between washing, when you don't really need to wash, just get light dust off.

California dust brush?

I have and use the Oxo Brush occassionally, but find that a prefer a quick wipe with a soft microfiber and Crystal Mist to add the "pop" back.

I use the California Duster and then the Zaino Z-6 detailer, looks like I just polished it. Using the Z-8 will make it look even better.

I use Meguiar's Quick Detailer and a blue shop towel. Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic pads keeps my rims clean for weeks at a time.

I use a microfiber towel and a little zaino z6 or z8.

if it's too dusty, i'd rather re-wash it to play it safe.

was thinking about this recently, and was hesitant to use the CA-duster because of the oils it contains.

Do you think that any oils on the CA duster will just wash off with my Z7? I want to know that I'm not leaving anything on the car that will hurt future adherence of Zaino.

I've never really had any film transfered to the surface, except if I just sat it down on the surface while I Z-6'd another area. The tips should barely drape across the surface. The Z-6 will remove any film that may have gotten on the surface and the Z-7 wash will definitely remove any residue.
