Question Pollen season is here - Calif Car Duster _Good or bad?

My brilliant Black eight has recently been morphing into a custom Pollen Green overnight.

I just went out and picked up a California Car Duster and it works great at removing pollen and dust.

Obviously you wouldn't want to wipe down a gritty dirty car but is it okay for dusting pollen or does it damage the paint?

During or pollen season I used the Cal. duster with no problems. just sweep in one direction and then would go over with some quick detailer.

I just bought one of these. I tried it for the first time yesterday. It works. The cool thing is the rubberized handle that won't damage your paint if you accidentally drop it.

I usually use NXT and S100 Carnauba on my car. The fiberworks dry mitt works GREAT for dusting. Just a few swipes and a few squirts of meguiars quick detail and your good to go.

Definately want a nice clean and dust-free car before you put the car cover on.
Even the slightest bit of dust between the car and the cover can cause scratches.

A California Duster is a must have item. Works great and doesn't scratch. When you buy one new, take it out and let it sit overnight on some news paper. It will remove the excess paraffin in it. Don't use any pressure and just glide it over the surface.
