Let the pollen begin! Nice fresh coat of yellow on my car this morning. I guess the next two months I can tell everyone
that my car is actually orange, and not red. Does anyone know any good way to keep that crap off
without hurting the paint? California duster? Swiffer?

Re: Let the pollen begin! Layer a good sealent on your car such as liquid glass, blackfire, klasse or zaino and when you get all this dust, all you'll need a good squirt from a garden hose and it will rid your car of that crap.
I feel as if the cali car duster was designed for picture perfect cars that are never used, sure, it'll remove a little dust from a show car but for the most part your going to cause swirls if you use it on a daily driver.

Re: Let the pollen begin! I've used the California dusters on all of my cars for years. They do not leave swirl marks and work excellent. You don't press them hard on the surface, you simply drag them across it. They have some sort of wax or something on the fibers that pick up all kinds of dust and pollen.
In fact, I just bought another for my new truck last week <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Let the pollen begin! Yeah that waxy stuff left streaks all over my
newly zainoed Formula and I was like WTF????
But I then read the directions (yep it actually
has directions!)and it says to leave a new duster
out of its pouch for a day or two to prevent the
waxy streaks. Some of that wax must evaporate but
truthfully it required usage and dust buildup to
stop the waxy streaks for mine.
A bit annoying at first but the california duster
is a good product IMO and has never scratched
my Formula. Zaino probably helps though.

Verdad Gallardo Re: Let the pollen begin! Zaino is very very soft, people often report swirls in their Zaino'd care but it is actually swirled in the Zaino itself. All they need to do is clean the car and apply another layer and it will fix there little problem.
I still don't trust the Cali car duster on anything aside from a show car, think of it, your dragging dirt along your paint. Why not just use a quick detail spray and give it a little more shine while removing the dust?
