Default California Dash Duster or California Microfiber Wheel Duster for Black Wheels?

As you probably know, the California Car Duster Company makes a lot of products. I use the original duster on my paint when it's dusty and it works great.

I want to try one of their other products for my wheels. They make a dash duster which uses the same wax treated cotton strands as the original duster. I have read some comments where people are using that to dust wheels.

They also make a microfiber wheel duster, that kind of wraps around the spokes of the wheels to clean. That one does not appear to be treated with anything. However I'd be a little concerned that the brake dust might scratch black wheels if applies too much pressure?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried either or both of these for wheel dusting between washes and if so can you recommend one? Obviously whichever one I choose would be used for nothing else but wheels. Thanks!

Neither...the brake dust is too overwhelming for a duster....seal the wheel your fav way and hit it with a hose and some soap weekly.

Thanks Glen! Appreciate the input! I went ahead and spent $8 on the California Wheel Duster at Pep Boys and tried it out on my dusty wheels. It worked fast and they look great! I think it will get dirty, but it says you can easily wash it anytime so I think it might work for keeping up my wheels, I'll let you know. For me if I'm going to get out the bucket and wash them I can only do that on the weekend so I might as well wash the car. I'm looking for a quick fix that I can do more regularly. We shall see how it works out!
