anybody using California Duster
 

Ive seen these forever and thought it was a bunch of BS.. years later MB Z
and its covered all the time but this time year oaks are yellow dusting everything. Got one and dammn if its doesnt work. Think it was $15.

I use one every now and then but only when there's light dust on the car. It helps a bit but I wouldn't recommend using it to clean tree sap, bird poop or thicker stains, altought you should be fine getting rid of that yellow dusting

I keep detail spray and a good micro firbar cloth close by to handle those jobs!

I have one that I use occasionally to remove light dust/pollen... I was pretty hesitant about these until I watched Junkman's video on the subject. It really does come in handy.

Jump to about 9:00 in the vid... https://youtu.be/oqdjRwsXoOM?list=PL...fw_Y0NUqpjZqzj

use it all the time before put on the car cover. it works well with just dust, but nothing that sticks to the paint.

I use one almost every day in between washes, only as long as it's a light coat of dust/pollen. I've been using these dusters for the past 6+ years.

:iagree:

The pollen is terrible right now here in Fl. I use mine every time I get home & pull the Z in the garage. It works great.

I stopped using it. There is build up in the fibers that I cannot trust it. Some say you wash it but it becomes less effective. So for me, I don't use it. In the end it is for your car not mine or anyone else's.

I have used one for many years on all the cars that I have owned. They work great on light dust and pollen, however my cars are not driven in the rain. :tup:

Yes.

yes, its called the Duster for this very reason

The California Car Duster, The tool that revolutionized automotive detailing over 25 years ago has never been surpassed. Nothing else can make a dusty or pollen covered vehicle look freshly washed faster or more efficiently.

:worship:

In the directions that come with the duster it says the dirtier it gets the better it works.

reminds me of my girlfriend:eek:

Had one and stopped using it. It was leaving marks on the paint like swirls.

uhhhh watch junkman's stuff... seriously

you'll understand that those assbackwards instructions will get you into a lot of less than thrilling looking paint. seriously.

Well you got me thinking with your comment, so I went & found the Junkman's video that had to do with the California duster. In fact he uses it himself but is a little dramatic when he says it will DESTROY your paint if you don't do it his way. I pretty much do it the way he shows but probably let it contact the surface more than him. I have been using it for over a year now & I don't have any scratches that I can point to the California duster to have caused. I researched other places & he is the only one I found that thinks it will destroy your paint. For me that is one man's opinion & I will take it for what it is worth & move on.

junkman, I like his stuff...but he is a Marine ,but once in awhile they might be misled, misguided..as a Squid I respect his opinion, but im still sticking by the Duster.:stirthepot:

=)

he's enthusiastic that's for sure. what he preaches is technique not product. by destroy he probably means swirls or micro swirls that you won't see unless super close and what not. his videos portrays him as a bit of a polish perfectionist :tup:

I would go as sweeping as to say the dirtier the cleaning tool the more potential you have to damage your clear coat. microfiber or duster or whatever it may be.

I think we're all on the same boat that we want are cars to look spotless and shiny :icon17:


I watched his videos and it wasn't about following his instructions to a dime, it's about learning from his technique. everyone will find something that works for them but you need a good base before you can start trying things that work for you :tup:

Well said...

Well I have watched many of his video's and even though he is a bit of a perfectionist, I'll be danged if he looks Polish to me... Maybe Irish, but certainly not Polish... :icon08:
