California car duster

I want to recommend this stuff to people that like to see their car shinny all the time. I got it today from Canadian tire and try them on my dusty car, after dusting off the dirt my car looks clean and shinny again.

The finish looks like the car just get the wax treatment, pretty easy to use and simple. Take about few mins only to do the whole car.

Just give your car a nice wax then use the duster frequently, you will see your baby shinny all the time.

I use the duster all the time after I wash my car. I make sure to shake it clean after every swipe before re applying it to the car.

I just happened to wipe the marks on the interior plastic with my duster and they were greatly reduced!

Thumbs up California Car Duster

Got 2 dusters yesterday; 1 large ($10.89) and another dash duster ($7.24) at Target in Bellis Fair Mall, Bellingham. They are amazing and save me a lot of time.

Don't like them, used it on a black car once and it left fine swirls.

Moist Microfiber does it for me.

I think this will work surprisingly well on dark color such as black, imagine that it cut down your washing times and turn those hard-to-maintained color into easier task to stay shinny.

But remember that it is only a duster, so if your car is covered with salt or some really dirty stuff, make sure you wash it first then use it in between washing.

+1 I use both. I use them a lot for light dust at the end of a day. The inside works so well....I have dusted off my dash while waiting at a stop light.

I works great but just using it when the car is dusty not dirty, always shake it after each panel has been dusted off. I have used it for long time and works great

do not trust these thigns at all. Take it this way, every time you wipe the car, your picking up little bits of dust and dirt into the duster. And even if you shake it out, those little fibers are gonna pick up and hold dirt. and then every time you wipe the car after, your gonna wipe the dirt across the paint. Leaving small scratch's basically every time you use the thing. Unless you buy a new one all the time.

Very true. Bought and quit using. Dash duster a different story.
