Car Duster

afgray327 · 05-06-2011, 09:09 AM

I had a car duster from my Blue Mazda3, and i loved it. i was out in AZ and a daily wipedown let me go a couple weeks between washes instead of a couple days. I now have a black focus, and was wondering what the recomendation was, because ive never had a car that was so easy to make swirl marks in teh paint.

I use the California Cars Duster. I shake it out a TON though. Swirls are scary...

This might sound crazy but it works for me. Basically I'll use a leaf blower to blow away the dust and then do a wipe down with a slight damp microfiber towel, followed by a dry one.

My driveway and yard are covered with sand. a leaf blower would do more harm than good i think

Couldnt you drive the dust off it? Ide think a quick 70mph run up the highway and back would dust it.

We have a lot of people in our T-Bird club that have 02/05 Birds in black and quite a few of them use a California Duster. I have two, one for interior and the big one for the exterior for my 02 Thunderbird Blue T-Bird. I also use a Calfornia Water Blade to help dry it when washed.

ok, ive just never owned a black vehicle before, and ill wash it, dry it, drive to town and it has turned brown. including 70 MPH runs for a few miles. God forbid i dont wpe it down and we have a heavy dew. The sand turns to concrete on the paint

won't work. I don't think the dust has enough surface area to be affected by the wind, otherwise wind would dust cars too and it doesn't...

OP, you really don't want to **wipe** with anything, all you're doing is grinding the stuff into the paint. Get a Clifornia Duster, it **glides** more like...
