If you have to park on the street every night, I suggest to get a good car cover (for outdoor use) and wheel lock. :tup:

For hard plastic surfaces, sure go right ahead, however, I'd keep away from any painted areas and anything with glass screen. Small amount of dust can collects over time within the bristles of the duster and become quite abrasive against your paint.

Here, I'll just leave this link for you, I think the gurus from Adam's can explain it better than I can :tiphat:

yes it will.

you're best bet is to drive around the block first to rid the grass or any larger than dust debris on the car before you use cal duster.

do not use the california duster! by all means!

It just takes a small particle of dirt to scratch all your car.

I think the CA duster is for just that...dust. The Junkman shows the right way and wrong way to use a CA duster in one of his videos.

I drove home which got much of it off, leaving behind dirt collected by the rain. Then I sprayed off the rest and gave the girl a wash.

If it doesnt put up grass on my car im good. :driving:

Good luck with this OP. :roflpuke2:

Wash before you brush with that thing. I have one of those. At best, it's only for light, indoor overnight dust. At worst, it will make small scratches in the paint. Just spray wash the car and dry her. It's worth the extra effort.

I would be more worried over rock and harder dirt chips that come over the grass.

Just be glad it's just grass and dust. Last year a gardener at my work put a deep scratch and dented my rear fender with either his lawnmower, I ended up having to paid a $500 deductible for the shop to fix it, total costs was $750 to fix and repaint the rear quarter panel

In my s14 I parked on the side of the road to go inside a building. Left my windows down.

I walked back outside to see a leaf-blower toting man walking next to my car and blowing leaves, just as we made eye contact he filled my interior with leaves. He apologized - but I was still like....dude....really....
