California car duster ?
For those who use them, have you ever had a problem with them scratching the paint ? Do you all believe them to be relatively safe to use for light dust/lint ? I always wash my car when it gets even slightly dirty but sitting in the garage for weeks at a time uncovered leaves it with a very fine coating of dust. I started using the duster and it seems to work great for this. What do you all think ?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Scott

I have one that I have used for over 5 years with no problems. I keep my cars under a car cover in the garage, so that also helps keep the dust down.

I use it every time before I take the Vette out, I haven't noticed any real performace gain but it looks cleaner

i go through one about every year...i know its getting worn out when it starts to leave smuges in the paint, and then i have to wipe that off. Great performance...use it every time before i take the vette out. Haven't tried it on the dyno yet.

Works great - based on static charge of wax coated fibers.
Just don't use it when the body is hot, as this can melt the wax
and streak the finish.
I also have a small triangular shaped one for dusting the dash and interior.

Has anyone washed theirs or does that remove some type of coating that is on them?
I thought I read that they can be washed but I have had mine for several years and never washed it as it still works fine.
Just wondering if anyone ever washed one and if it changed the effectiveness at all.
Thanks
