Default California Car Dusters

California Car Dusters are an absolute must have, unless you have a white car. This little miracle cuts down on constant washing, and keeps the finish looking

Nothing like a fine layer of dust, to screw up that beautiful shine

If you don't own one, I would highly recommend the purchase.

Amen - part of my daily routine, just takes a couple minutes and the car looks great in between washes.

Kids gave me one for Father's Day.
No more washing every weekend when I take it out.

Plus..........The dirtier and grosser looking, the better it picks up dirt and dust.

Great little product, I use mine every morning before I even turn the key. Keeps the Vette looking clean between weekend washes.

They are a must have for me. I don't know how I could ever be happy with my black coupe without one.

My driveway is gravel and dusty and long. The California Duster is great. At first it leaves a little wax on your paint, but it works better and better the more you use it. I have never washed mine, but I read a thread a while back where some did and it still worked well. My wife and son have one for their cars. Saves a lot of washing.

They work great!



Just don't forget when you first get one wrap it up in newspaper for a couple of days to let the excess wax/oil out of the fibers.

I would never use the duster on my white truck, darn thing NEVER gets dirty White is the best all around color in my book, it looks pretty good even when it is a little dirty.

I used to think that way but, since I got my Vette I,ve raced it just about every weeked and don't have time for a proper washing.

So now each time I pull it out of the garage to race, I dust with the duster above the belt line and I'm off to the races.

Usually in November I finally get time to wash, detail,and Zano the Vette. Then she looks pretty all Winter, until the National Corvette Challenge!

If my desire to drive it overcomes my desire to wash it (and that's the way it usually is - driving it is a lot more fun than washing it!), then driving is what I do.

I prefer it to be clean, but I don't let that stop me from having fun in it!
