Default california duster , again

i always thought these dusters to be a bad approach . lately i look at the 2000 and wish i could dust it but i'm afraid to [got a cover but like to see the car so don't use it] . i did a search and read the duster comments . seems like all comments were good . how do i know i'm getting the real thing and not a 'knock off' as some comments suggested there was more than one 'california duster like' product on the market . all comments appreciated , thank you. . . . .peace

I got my California Dusters at Target....I think the exterior/large one was ~$10 and the smaller one for the interior was ~$7. Both are the genuine dusters, not knock-offs.

Got mine from Pep Boys for $10 bucks and use it all the time. My question though is can the duster get too dirty? Is there a way to wash it or for $10 do you just go get a new one?

no, it works better when it is dirtier actually, no streaking. I've had my current duster for 3 years now, works better than ever.

As far as knockoffs go, if it says "original california duster", thats it.

As wrong as it might sound, the dirtier it gets the better it performs. I have had mine for over 10 years and would NOT sell it. No scratches on either car it has been used on including my AE.

I would go to PB and get the new Mega Calif Duster. I think they are 17 bucks but well worth it as they are very plush and have strands all the way around. It also has a longer stick.
