Unfortunately I live on an unsealed road, which makes it impossible to keep my car clean due to the dust sticking to the car Are there any products out there that stop dust from sticking to it, or am I always going to have a dirty car? I could clean it before I go out each time, but this will probably be worse as the dust will probably stick to the car even more, and the fact that I usually don't have time to wash a car before I leave. Any suggestions?

 

Try a Cailfornia Car Duster, i bought one,and i love it, it works great for getting that surface dust off your car,so you don't have to wash your car all the time, and don't worry it won't scratch your finish

how long does it take to do the job, and where can i get it? price too please

 

Try a local Strauss or Autozone. They should run for around 15-20.

 

Mine ran me about 10-15 dollars at Wal-Mart. It only takes me about 5 minutes at the most to dust the whole car,it works really great, i highly reccomend it.Oh yeah, by the way, when you're dusting your car and you notice all the bugs on your front bumper,just keep a microfiber cloth and a product like Meguiar's Quick Detailer handy,like in your trunk along side your car duster,that's what i do.

That thing will give you swirls...no thanks.

 

The duster hasn't hurt the finish on my Max. Keep a good coat of wax on the car and don't use the duster on heavy dirt. It is only a duster.

 

Clean 100% cotton bath towels on a clean car leave swirls...I'm not down with using anything on the paint when it's not clean. I'm in the minority, I know, but that's the way I see it.

 

there are cheap imitations of the "California Car Duster" I have one and it works awesome! Make sure you buy the original. Costco also has it that comes with a smaller version in the package for the interior.

 

Mine is the original California Car Duster, it has not put one scratch or swirl in my finish,but i agree you shouldn't use it on heavy dirt. Just use it after a drive on a nice day and when you see dust on the finish,that's just sitting there that can be picked up by the duster but if it has rained,or the dirt is to the point you can't get it off by blowing on it;i recommend not using it until you wash again.

 

Hey endus did you ever read some of Carguy's extensive tests on the Cali. Duster? That's what finally convinced me to go and get one.

I love this tool - it's relatively fast to use and I don't know how I got by without it. I know my car is silver, but I am sure that it has not caused any swirls or microscratches from using it because I only move it in certain directions.

 

I found out about the duster from neighbor who was into hot rod/classics/customs. He used one all the time on his show cars as did all of his buddies. If it's good enough for those show cars, then it's good enough for me. Again, don't use on heavy dirt and don't use any pressure. Just gentle back and forth and a waxed surface. I love it ... Just my .02.
