So after spending the first part of Fathers Day morning washing and waxing and after 1 day of driving, the glm TSX is dusty! I'm looking at this thing and I feel like I need to rinse this thing off but would hate to deal w/ missed water spots. Then I thought maybe run a micro fiber through it. But I would probably end up doing more damage than good. Anyway, is there a duster anyone could recommend that would be fine and not damage the finish? Or is this not recommended at all and that I should forget the whole thing and just let the dust build up until the next wash? Folks, what do you suggest?

Last month i got a california duster from O'Reily auto parts, love it. I use it alot since my TL is cbp. No complaints.

TOGWT

To remove light, dry surface dust without causing scratches apply very little surface pressure, use a California Ultimate Premium Car Duster (this duster 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 them for ten years or more without any paint surface problems (including Concours d’élégance events); having said that it’s all in the method you use.

When the duster is first purchased it should be wrapped in newspaper (48 hours) to remove any excess paraffin wax, the duster should not be washed, the dirtier it gets the better it works (I've been using mine now for almost five years without it being washed) http://www.calcarduster.com/faq.asp


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 towel surface thereby avoiding surface marring.

Methodology

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 wet, damp or hot paint surface (soon after driving) as this will cause streaking?
