This is a great quick dusting tool if you are like me and try to take care of the paint on your car.I do a quick dusting with this before covering up the car at night. I use a CalCar Cover (Noah) to reduce sun damage and do a quick wipe to remove dust from the day before pulling the cover over. This will help reduce scratches in the clear coat and paint. These dusters are good when pollen is in the air too, but I would recommend being careful not to try and wipe down too much pollen. The yarn on this duster is soaked in wax so things will stick to them. Although they say to shake out the brush after wiping down the car, I wouldn't want to overload the duster and risk scratches down the road. These dusters last a long time, and are effective even when they've got a few years of dirt/dust on them, so maybe I'm being a little over cautious. However, I've been using my original duster for 13 years and just got a second, new one, this past month. The new dusters are a little lower in quality, seeming to have less yarn and are a little lighter, but they appear to be just as effective as the older ones. They come with a plastic sleeve to store it in, which is very handy to keep the duster from getting messed up when not in use.Be aware the duster needs to be &#34;seasoned&#34; after purchasing. This means that the first few times you use it you may get some streaks from the wax on your paint. The wax comes off easily with a microfiber cloth. This wax streaking will stop after the first few uses.Also you should NEVER use it on a hot surface (like a car left in the sun or on a hot hood/engine cover after driving). Wipe the dust off in the shade or in the evening and after the engine has had time to cool off.Finally, don't use this to replace washing your vehicle. If you have a clean car to start with then this will help keep it clean/dust free longer. It's only designed to take off a light layer of dust on the paint and glass surfaces. This dust will usually collect on the flat horizontal areas, so that and the top edges are the places you'll most frequently use it. Use care and try to avoid wiping behind the wheels where road dirt kicks up. You don't want this duster getting tar and other oily grime on it. I can't say how good it is with beach/sand dust since that's a lot sharper/more damaging and heavier. Maybe other reviewers have commented on that elsewhere.I'd also recommend the mini duster (search Amazon for California mini duster). It's a great complement to the full size one, but perfectly sized for a quick wipe of the dashboard, door sills and other smaller, less dusty areas.
