CCD - How Dirty Is Too Dirty? (PICS)

I've had my CCD duster for 4 years now and it still works very well. I don't really notice any marring either.....but then again, I haven't been nearly as compulsive as I used to be and do not detail with the same level of scrutiny I used to. With a duster looking this dirty, I have to wonder if I'm putting a lot of marring on my paint that I just haven't been noticing yet. Plus, the recent talk about the OXO duster has gotten me interested in replacing my CCD.



Anyone else's CCD dirtier than mine?

Mine is probably just as dirty looking. I find it works better once it is dirty...seems to streak much less than when it was brand new.

I think that as long as you shake it out on a regular basis you will be fine. Its not like you rub this with pressure on the surface.
 
I love my OXO. I use it all the time. But it's not NEARLY that dirty! How does it get that dirty?



I guess I have the same question, How dirty is too dirty?, but how dirty of a vehicle is too dirty? I only use it on dust for now....is it more versatile?



Thanks!
 
Tony,

Mine just as dirty,I shake it after each path,seems like no marring...

I have OXO and it works just like CCD... no difference,I alternate them depending of the mood I'm in...I like a wooden handle a little better ...other than that they're all the same to me...

Good to see you posting again.BTW, great A4 Cab for the Msr:xyxthumbs

My CCD is even dirtier then yours and doesn't marr the surface of my vehicles(FWIW I also have the OXO brush but prefer the CCD).



I don't know if this surface inspection method would interest you but it will tell you if a surafce has any marring after using the duster-



Dark Field Micro Inspection:

For a surface to be optically perfect it should be free of all surface imperfections. The surface should be viewed very closely and from all possible angles. Start by looking at the surface in a darkened room, once your eyes have fully dilated, turn on a bright Halogen light beam.



Direct the beam away from you and at a low angle and from various directions (youâ€â„¢ll be able to see even the most minor paint film surface imperfection) this is 100X more sensitive than viewing a vehicles paint film surface in normal light.



This viewing technique is an adaptation of âہ“Dark field microscopyâ€Â� used in many scientific fields.

Tony, your CCD is just getting broken in. My CCD is 7 years old about the same in discoloration. Your is still a baby. ;)

Every time I consider buying a new one, I remember the long break-in period and continue to use my old one.
