Do you use the "California Duster" between washes?

I used to. But; it hasn't been utilized in some time. I am thinking about bringing it into play again with my new Frontier.

Since; my Frontier has just been detailed, and there is no rain in our forecast for several days, I thought, I would 'California Dust'.

So; how many of you use one?
 
Actually, I use three of them.
Two of the original wood handle ones, one of which is about 15 years old, and one of the "Super Dusters" that is larger and has yarn all the way around the handle.
They have been great for me, but don't use them on anything but a dusty car.

I use them just about everyday. Of course, only if the car is "dusty". When it gets dirty I break out the old soap and water.
 
i use one during the weekend to keep it clean and *blinging* lol. During the week i do alot of driving so its pointless to use it.
 
I have one in both cars for raod use and one in the garage...I use them daily as needed....great tool to have
 
I live in AZ so since I have become a fanatic about detailing I use it every morning even tho its a lost battle by 10:00 :bawling:

I have an Oxo duster for my wife's car as well as my truck. I gave my california duster to a friend who needed it immediatley.

As CharlesW stated I only use the duster when it is dusty. In the morning when I go out and clean my truck. I do this every morning that I am not working. Heck, I do it when I am working, also. Just get up earlier. Very light touch then I either use a qd or just wash it. Then use a qd. Sometimes I add a layer of something. But I use it every morning. When at work I use it before I leave the shop. With all the haul trucks going by it all day it is very dusty. Just takes a few minutes. I guess I love my car duster.

Their is a difference in the yarn as well as the handles. The yarn is larger and longer on the wooden handle ones.
I happen to use the wooden handle duster, but lots of people seem to ne happy with the plastic handle one.
The plastic handle duster is probably about 1/2 the price of the wooden handle one, but when you figure they are good for over 15 years, that cost isn't a big factor. :)

One of mine is between 15 and 20 years old and cleaning it consists of banging it on the side of the garbage can. I think you can wash them, but it isn't really recommended or necessary.
