I had one and didn't really like it. It left oily streaks/haze on my car every time I used it. Also, to me it seems as it just pushes the dirt across your car causing small swirls and stuff but thats just me.

I'd rather just wash it every week.

It looks like a good product for someone with a light colored car.

Owned at least one since 1986 (not a typo) and use it all the time. The fibers do tend to have a little bit of 'wax' so you have to be gentle with it, super light sweep does the trick without leaving spiderweb marks. After a couple of years they lose the 'wax' and become super great dusters - even on black cars.

Never leave home without one.

I have had one for a few years. Used it on my 95 and now the 2000. It works well at getting the dust off and cleans up the look, I am just afraid of getting something in there that will scratch the paint but I always shake it off if I go over dirt and I try to only use it when the car is just dusty and not dirty. Its only like $15 and it saves you time if you need to just clean off the car instead of having to wash and dry it.
