I bought the California Duster. I was wondering if it damages the paint.

 

Not if you use it to 'dust' the car... I suppose if you BEAT on it with the Duster it would do some damage, but I haven't tried that... :D

Seriously I'm on my second and my mum's on her third duster and neither of us has ever caused any damage. Be sure to follow the instructions and 'air out' the duster before first use to get rid of excess wax in it (that's what makes the dust stick to the duster - the wax treatment of the fibers).

Don't use it like a scrub brush, and if a light pass with the duster doesn't take off whatever's there, the car needs a wash to remove it. To just 'touch up' when it gets a film of road dust or pollen, though, the duster is great.

 

Thanks. That's about what I've been using it for. There is uaually some dust built up on it in the mornings.

 

And...the small version for the interior works great too.

 

i've had it... feel its kinda worthless.. might not be in other climates... but around here if your car is dusty/dirty.. the duster won't help

 

I use the dusters on everything for 10 plus years.
Theye're great...

I have used them for the 10+ years of showing my vehicles off.
They are a great way to dust off your car, just as long as you use it on a clean car.
Anything other than "clean" your asking for issues.

 

It works great on white. Ive seen it on BSP and TCM and it leaves swirl marks on the car.

 

count me in as another satisfied duster user,just the thing for removing dust in between washes

 

Even if you use it to "dust" the car it still leave baby swirls

 

ahh, Danger you disappoint me. I love your ride and all you've done to it. but I gotta disagree w/ you on the swirl marks/ Duster issue.

true swirl marks are tiny scratches in the clear coat caused by some sort of grit and some sort of rubbing. unless you keep your Duster in the kids sandbox and rub your car w/ it, you're not gonna cause swirl marks. perhaps what your seeing is the paraffin wax on the Duster being left behind because the Duster is fairly new or the car was too hot. but, a light dusting w/ an aged yet clean Duster won't hurt the finish a bit.

Have one and LOVE it.
