What to use to get rid of dust on the car?

Vintalage · 03-02-2004, 03:56 PM

What do you guys use to get rid of dust on the car? I just washed my car a few days ago and it's pretty much clean. It just has dust build up so I figure I could just brush off the dust with something. But I don't want to scratch the paint so I want to know what's best to use.

It's called a "California Car Duster"

Vintalage · 03-02-2004, 04:29 PM

LOL!!! I forgot about that. And I just bought the California Water Blade. Haha, thanks man!

02PONtiac! · 03-02-2004, 07:54 PM

No problem. I need to go pic one up now.

RedGT2004 · 03-02-2004, 08:00 PM

Doe the california car duster actually work? I was thinking about buying one.

02PONtiac! · 03-02-2004, 08:01 PM

yeah my dad has one for his black 02 Bonneville SSEI. It works even better the more you use it.

matts · 03-02-2004, 09:03 PM

i was gonna say that i use a air compressor to blow the dust off. i've wondered if that duster scratches paint or not

no, they figured that all out when they designed the california car duster.

carpediem1230 · 03-03-2004, 07:29 AM

i got the california car duster last summer, and it works great. as long as its just dust, it'll look like you just washed it after you use the duster. buy one, well worth it.

liqnitrous · 03-03-2004, 04:21 PM

yea my friend got me a california car duster for christmas. its red and fluffy and will NOT scratch your car. unless you use the handle to dust you car off.

also i hear the dirtier your duster the better it works? is this true?

Tom2K2GAGT · 03-03-2004, 05:02 PM

I guess I need one of these

liqnitrous · 03-03-2004, 06:02 PM

oh there really sweet. good for car shows. and nice for those summer days where your car is pretty clean, too clean to re wash but always nice to dust off. its easy as hell to use too. i dont know how it works on darker cas tho...does it scratch? cuz my car is silver.

killerhound · 03-03-2004, 08:01 PM

Hasn't scratched my car yet...black GT. I love it.

ArcticWhiteSE · 03-09-2004, 04:14 PM

I bought my mom one for her b-day. She never uses it, because she's always taking her vehicles to detailers whenever they get dirty.
I don't think it's worth 200 bucks to have some shmo wash down my car/vacuum, and then spend 3 hours detailing the interior. When I first got my car, I took my car to the detailer's shop twice, but I figured it wasn't worth it. I can do the same thing for 198 bucks less.

Vintalage · 03-09-2004, 04:30 PM

Exactly. Plan to "detail" my car sometime soon. Vacumn, wash, steam clean, etc. I'll be much happier when it's all done and it looks close to new.

coupe · 03-10-2004, 03:09 PM

The dust gives me reason to wash and wax my car again. Yes i love washin and waxin my car.

Vintalage · 03-10-2004, 03:44 PM

I bought it last thursday but haven't had the chance to use it yet. It rained recently and I had to drive on the wet roads. So, my car's dirty...yet again.

But it comes with a black plastic bag to keep the California Car Duster in.

matts · 03-10-2004, 08:40 PM

the part where detailers come in handy is when you a.) dont have time to wash/clean your car like they will or b.) when you need your paint buffed or something like that you can't do at home because you dont know how or dont have the right tools. but all in all i'm to picky about my detail jobs to pay someone. my thoughts are "i'm paying you $200+ and i better not be able to find a spec of dirt". and i've NEVER seen a detail job i was completely 100% satisfied with. they always forget something. they do a good job, but i have high expectations when it comes to paying people to do a job for me
