  • Using a car duster

    To remove light, dry surface dust without causing scratches apply very little surface pressure, using the California Ultimate Premium Car Duster (that uses 100% cotton fibres impregnated with paraffin wax to collect dust) this product is like Marmite, you either love or hate it, I’ve been using mine for ten years or so without problems; having said that it’s all in the method you use.

    Or the Zymol® Natural Wool Duster (that uses static to attach the dust to the fibres to assure that dust is lifted and removed, not just pushed around) or long nap micro fibre towel and Optimum (OPT) No Rinse Wash™ (which uses a surfactant to encapsulate the dust and polymers to ensure surface lubrication) to ensure the dust lifted from the paint surface will remain in the nap or fibres and not on the surface thereby avoiding surface marring.

    Using long strokes, maintain very light surface pressure and use in one direction only, this ensures that any dust is removed not just pushed around. Shake the duster occasionally to ensure any particles picked up will drop out rather than come to the surface while you’re using it.

    Do not use these methodologies on a hot paint surface (soon after driving) as this will cause streaking.

    It is also important to use this methodology only for the removal of dry surface dust, don’t use if surface has condensation or dew, or if the vehicle has oily road film, road tar, damp pollen or dust, etc in these instances the vehicle surface should be subjected to a conventional or Optimum (OPT) No Rinse Wash™ & Shine New Formula (ONR) car washing process

        I agree completely!

        I've always used it without marring the paint. Whereas I've seen other ppl just rubbing the duster across the paint!!

          I actually have 2 of the CD's. A large long one and a small one that can be used for the inside. It works great for taking on the thin layer of dust that will get on your car.

            I've been using a California duster since it's debut, it's a must before you you any type of DS.
            I use no pressure at all, the the weight of the duster, I hit it along my leg after each panel.
            Also indicates when it's time to wax, when I fill a slight drag I know it's about that time to wash it well and wax it.
            I use mine daily along with UQD, saves me from having to hand wash my car, my car looks and feels so clean by me doing this daily.
