Default Lite Dust Removal

What's the best way/product to remove a film of lite dust from the exterior of a vette. I have a 2015 that I noticed when I let it sit inside of my garage uncovered for a couple of days it will get a film of dust on it.
Is there a quick way/product to remove it?
Thanks

A light quick detailer and some soft MF towels. You can also try using a blower to remove surface dust and lint.

I agree Detail Spray and MF towel will remove the dust safely.

These work fine for light garage dust removal from an otherwise clean car. You can follow it up with a spray detailer and quality MF. That's what I've always done with no negative effects.

detail spray of microfiber towel. Be careful about exterior, especially if you choose detail spray, since you can damage your car paint.

If using a duster shake it out first, you must be very careful not to "brush" the car but gently drag the fringe of the duster over the surface with no pressure. I have seen people use a duster like a toothbrush which is the worst thing you can do.

First blow the car off with compressed air or a leaf blower. Then beginning with the top surfaces, very gently use a high quality MF towel and a mist of quick detailer. Be gentle and you should have good scratch free results. Dark color cars are the worst for holograms and swirls, so be extra careful.
