In-between washes?

BMW3R · 08-20-2008, 08:21 PM

I know that there is a brush, mop that can be used in between washes to remove dust from the exterior of the car. Does anybody know what this is called and where to get one?

i was thinking the same thing
i need a way to keep my car decently clean between car washes

I saw this California Car duster at: http://www.calcarduster.com/default.asp.

I don't know if they really work and especially on a black car. Does nybody know?

I am suspicious of causing swirls with this product regardless of any claim. Detailing spray (like Adam's Detailing spray) and a mirofiber towel might be the way to go. But i would not use detailing spray on the entire car, just small areas like acidic bug accumulation on the front grill or on bird excrement

. If you don't care about little scratches then just buy that dusting thingy.

I would like to drive into the garage, hop out of the car and give it a once over for the next day of driving. So, I would like to do the whole car!! I'm a little OCD.

I've used one for years with good results, but never on black.

Oh good... at least I'm not the only one.

I have the same query. I would like to give the car a wipe/dust before or after driving to keep it looking its best (coupled with regular wash/dry tender loving care per suggestions here).

I picked up the California duster today at Autozone. It was $19.99. I also grabbed some microfiber towels and detail spray. I used both on my Jet Black car today with no problems. Definately worked very well and the detail spray worked well to remove fingerprints.

I dust off the car after a day with the California Duster and then use Zaino Z-6 on high incidence areas. What makes it really nice too is having a clearbra all covering 50% of the car.

I have a clear bra over the whole front of my car as well. I am on day two of the California duster and detail spray. I couldn't be happier with how easy the car is to keep looking clean with this combo!
