Best way to dust car?

Curious what people use for lite dusting. My car is opti-coated, my wife's isn't. Is there something better/worse depending on that? Seems a lot of folks use the California Duster.

Depending on the amount of dust I usually just use a California duster lightly over the car. I finish up with a detailing spray and a microfiber towel.

Not noticing any micro abrasions? Swirl marks or anything?

I haven't. . but my car is also opti-coated. Did not have any issues on my WRX that I had prior to the BRZ although I always made sure there was a nice coat of wax on the car before using the duster.

California duster, assuming the car is still clean.

I have a Renault duster for my car. I am happy with the results and would suggest You buying the same one. The option of California duster is also good one as its the most widely used duster around.

I use a waterless wash with micro fiber towels to prevent swirls and keep it clean during the inbetweens of washing. http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-439-a...ollection.aspx
