Default It Happened Again!

Dust got on the car
So I washed/waxed it. NXT is the best stuff I have EVER USED! Most waxes leave white spots ALL OVER! a car that has ANY imperfection in the paint. NXT did nothing of the sort. +1 for it!
On another note, I keep hearing of this "cali car duster" what is it? Like a feather duster type thing? Will it take care of pollen?

Pix from my cam. phone of the wax job...

great looking WS.6! ive heard good things about the california duster but id never use it for the outside, mabey the inside. i just use a microfiber cloth and cleen the dust off with that while the car is dry, as long as its only dust and not dirt you wont "smear" the crap into your paint. also in the 4th pic whats that orange thing hanging behind the driverside front tire? one last thing LOL get that 4x4 lowered already

yes it works, the fibers have wax in them, so it will only work in shade and cool areas... if you use it in direct sunlight/extreme heat it will leave streaks on your paint.

and the dirtier it gets, the better it works.

I Just got know washing and waxing my car. I used NXT as well.

I know i will have dust on the car tomorrow so i will use my California duster before i drive it. It works great and ls1bird is correct.....the dirtier the duster is the better it works.

BTW.....the ride looks great!

I thought you kept things as clean as possible? On Hooker's website they recomment cleaning the exhaust-port area on the head before installing the gasket/headers. I wouldn't think carbon fouling IN the header would matter, but the surfaces where it bolts up should be clean!

I think just about every autoparts store sells it. Works OK. Not as good as Quick Detailer and a rag though, but it is faster.
