CA Car Duster...?

[PT3]

Okay guys.... I am sure there will be some passionate opinions here.

 

I personally have been using one for years. Nothing drives me crazier than a clean car with a layer of dust on it. ESPECIALLY if I have to look over a layer of dust on my hood. Drives me INSANE.

 

So, I am sure the CA duster introduces some level of damage to the finish. But for me, it's TOTALLY worth it.

 

When I do use it, I do my best to be as light as possible with it. And historically I keep a nice coat of detail spray (now LSP, plus DS) that the CA duster glides over the surface smoothly and easily removes the dust.

 

So, I was just dusting my M5 (yes after 12am here) and wondered what others here thought about it.

Okay, I'll give you that one.  Just  don't use them on anything you REALLY care about. So it's okay to use on your wife.

Well, if I have to get one of those to use it, I'll toss it instead!

I get it that it's super easy to use, but it's kinda like in winter. It's super easy to get that quick satisfaction taking the F10 to the car wash too isn't it?

It's one of those things you'll learn in time, I totally get it but at the same time I learned I can't have my ride 100% looking, 100% of the time. There are days it's gonna have some light dust and as much as I'd like to have a "quick fix" I know it's safer to just wait to the next day and do a proper rinseless or traditional wash when I have the time.

"Do it right or do it twice" trust me if you're running around in a suit I'm sure your partners and customers aren't worried about a light coat of dust on the M5.

Are you applying LPS or Quick Sealant nowadays or are you using traditional waxes? Polymer sealants are MUCH more anti dust than traditional waxes.

Oh I don't do it to impress anyone but myself. But I can see what you're saying.

 

Yes, I applied LPS two weeks ago. I am planning on adding a 2nd coat soon.
