When it's humid out, the CA car duster leaves streaks on my black sail panel and black mirrors. Not sure why it's only on humid days though?

My usual routine after a weekend of cruising is to wipe the car down with a CA duster to get the majority of the dust off, then go over the whole car with Quick Detailer. This seems to work great, my paint is 99% flawless.

I've only washed this car once in the 2+ years I've owned it. Quick Detailer FTW.

Good looking WS6!As far as a duster,I use one that looks like the Cali one but it's microfiber and I've never had any problems out of it.Liquid Ice,got it when it 1st came out and used it once and gave the rest to friend.Too greasy and doesn't last.Nxt is real good stuff,and so is the Gold class.That's all I used for years was Meguiars products and stiil use it on my other vehicles.But when I got my Zaino package for Christmas,it seems to shine better and it's been 4 months and going strong as far as lasting.Zaino has totally impressed me and that's all I use on my car now.

the cali duster is great for light surface dust, just like pollen. but dont use it if your car is actually dirty, and just lightly touch the surface, dont use force.

I love my California Dust Mop only way to go. I live in Arizona so mine never leaves my trunk, unless in use.
