Hi guys,first of all I would like to thank the members of Autoia for all the knowledge I have recieved since joining. I just bought a new car a black 2005 Acura TSX and would like to ask anybody here for some help especially black car owners on how to properly care for a black car and also can recommend a good car duster that will not scratch the paint.:) [
 
Among the best detailing advice around can be found in the detailing e-book by DavidB (downloadable free from this site)



As for a duster-

The best known brand (California Car Duster) it can be used to remove pollen or light dust without causing scratches by applying very little surface pressure with the duster, dusting with long strokes in one direction only. Shake the duster occasionally to ensure any particles picked up will drop out rather than come to the surface while your using it.



It important to use the duster only for the removal of dry surface dust, if the vehicle has oily road film, road tar, damp pollen or dust, etc the vehicle surface should be washed



When the duster is first purchased it should be wrapped in newspaper to remove any excess paraffin wax, the duster should not be washed, the dirtier it gets the better it works (I've been using mine now for almost five years without it being washed)

Be very careful during the wash/dry process. IMO most of the marring people get happens when they wash the car. Use a very slick LSP and wash with a high-lubricity shampoo. Don't rub the dirt into the paint while washing.



Whenever I've tried the California Car Duster, it marred my paint. And yeah, I was barely touching the surface with no weight on it at all (just the tips of the strands) and I was just removing light dust. Plenty of other people like 'em, but I'd be very cautious.
