Are California Car Dusters safe to use? Are California Car Dusters safe to use on the paint of my black car. Can they scratch the paint.
Does anyone use these?? I have a black car and I can detail it, put it in the garage and two hours later have dust all over it. The duster seems to work great for removing the dust off my clean car. Is it safe for the paint??
Anyone else use these or have an opinon? Also any opinons on using DP waterless auto wash for spot cleaning and bug removal of a maintained clean car??

I use these on my garage queens after every drive, and before every application of detailer spray. I haven't taken a hose to my '98 car since April of 2005; the car duster/detailer spray combo has been my primary paint cleaning process for many years. This method works great for well sealed/waxed paint on a car that never sees bad weather or anything more than light dust. The key is to not apply any pressure with the duster, just let it glide very gently over the surface. In terms of minimizing swirls and micro marring, this is a better first step than simply applying detailer spray and wiping a dusty surface IMO.

If you must use the duster...don't just plop it down and rub the dust off like so many do.
Hold it so the ends of the yarns are touching the surface, so there is minimal amount of pressure moving the dust across the paint.
If you have a coat of sealer or wax, this will help protect from scratching.
