Dust, dust and more dust
I keep my 98 Roadster in the garage. Dust is slowly building up on the paint. I have some friends coming over for a dinner and movie night at our house and it will be the first time they get to see this car. I was wondering is there anything I could use to wipe the dust off without having to wash it to make it look well you know pretty? 
Only two more months before I can start driving it.

and i bought a thin (like nylon) cover for about $35 at Ecklers or Corvette America that i use to keep the dust off. It's much easier to put on than the heavy fitted ones and stores much easier and smaller for trips. then i don't have to use the duster as much or the quick detailer. I also have the heavy cover but use it less since the car is in the garage most of the time anyway.

I have noticed when there is a decent amount of dust, a california duster will get some but smear the rest. Blowing it off, there will be some that will stick.
I dont like to use a duster due to the amount of dust, you are just pushing it around. I myself would wash it.
