I just received my new California Super Duster to go along with my brand new car. This thing is great...especially in the days between a car wash and a rainy day. The California Super Duster will make it look like you wash your car every day.

First let me just state the obvious: The Super Duster is meant for use on a DRY car....not wet. Sorry...just had to say it.

The key thing about the Super Duster is that it doesn't leave those swirls that you might otherwise get from just wiping your car down. It's got super-soft bristles that glide over the finish of your car and remove all the dust. On the other hand, make sure *dust* is all you're trying to remove with the Super Duster. Don't try to use it on silt and other 'sandy" type build-ups. Don't use it on bird droppings. And never scrub with it; if a gentle glide doesn't remove what you're trying to get rid of, go to the conventional method(s) of cleaning your car. Otherwise you risk swirls or scratches.

This is my second duster after owning my last one for...well...since sometime in the 90s. The last one I had was a bit smaller with only a 15" cleaning head; the one on this page has a nice, big 31" cleaning head. And I was almost reluctant to get the 31" because my 15" was still working so well after all these years. In fact, as time goes by the thing actually works *better* as it starts to look dirtier.

After your first use or two you may experience a little streaking (which freaked me out), and it even tells you in the packing that this may happen due to a "parrafin wax" that the Super Duster's soft bristles are treated with. Rest assured that this stops after like your first few uses, the wax does not harm the car's finish and it easily wipes off. Before the first use of the Duster, remove it from its packing and let it hang in you garage for a day or two; this greatly reduces the amount of streaking that may occur on your first try.

So if you can get by the minor "streaking" thing that *might* occur in your first try, you'll love the results that the Super Duster provides. It's like taking your best suit to the dry cleaner with the major difference being you get a bright, shiny car back in under a minute using the Super Duster.

Now...hit the road!

I use this duster on my convertible (right now it is pollen season). I used to hand-wash the car every 2 weeks. Now I dust once to twice a week and maybe wash every 6 weeks or so. Looks cleaner now and is a lot less work.
The duster works magic!

I was already familiar with the product line because I have the hand duster, which is terrific for dusting in the house. I purchased this item for dusting our cars and for reaching the corners of our ceilings in the house. This duster is fairly heavy, and it appears that if I use it to dust in the corners of house, I'm going to get a workout, because the item is heavy. Men should find this no problem. There is a terrific amount of dusting capacity for use on your car, however. Amazon has run this item as low as $15 with super saver shipping.

The Super Duster has been very efficient in removing dust off my new 2005 Camry XLE and keeping her shiny between washes. Along with trimming car wash expenses, the full knitting minimizes twists of the wrist inherent with one-sided dusters to keep upright.

I recommend this product most highly.

Have always used the regular California Duster. Time to replace the one I have had for years. Thought I would try the Extra Large duster. This has twice the dusting surface, it is faster and does the same great job. I have a black Town and Country which shows dust! This does a great job in just a few minutes. A great product.

I just bought a new white convertible and this product is the greatest for quickly removing dust and light dirt. I am using it daily as it is so easy and quick. Car is spotless after 3 weeks of heavy driving, and I haven't needed to use my free car wash from the dealer!

My review topic says it all. If you want to keep your new car clean, but don't want to go through the trouble of washing it each month. This duster will help. It's really amazing that how it can collect dirt instead of pushing them around like other brand. Moreover, you don't need to wash your duster at all. Besides, washing your car too often with drive-through can really damage the painting of your car.

Although I have not tried other models of the California duster, I really like this design. Since this model has dusting tassles all the way around, you simple rotate the duster after each wipe. This will ensure that the dust you capture does not build up in any one spot. This design also works well for dusting the underside of my car's spoiler.

The duster really does capture dust and not just push it around. My only complaint is that the re-usable storage bag should be larger than it is to make it easier to get the duster back into it.

This duster is heavy duty, does a great job and is much bigger that I thought it would be. Overall I am very happy with this item. If you need a car duster this one is a home run.

Great to use between washes. It actually does get better with use. Wish I had purchased one sooner. I was a little worried that using this duster on dry dust would scratch the clear coat but this does not appear to be an issue. The Super size gets my Tundra done in a hurry.
