Yes, both me and my brother (TheV6Bird) use it. It works great just make sure to follow the instructions about curing time so you won't get streaks.

Just make sure you have a solid amount of wax on before using it otherwise any minor abrassives in the dirt on the car will scratch the paint and not the wax.

Thumbs up

Like the others, I've always had good performance from the CCD. It's a good product as long as it's used properly, on light dust.

I think that if you lay it on newspaper that will soak up some of the oils from the duster and solve your problem.

My cousin dropped his duster off yesterday for me to try out but I don't see any instructions with it. Anyone know where I can get the instructions online? Is it just for very light dust? Currently may car is fairly dusty. I haven't washed it since the last time I zainoed it, about a week or so ago but it's been in the garage most of the time. Is it too dusty for the duster?. I've been wanting to try one out but I'm scared of it leaving fine scratches.

Thanks man, I will definitly do this in the morning. And x7x7, you just wipe the car down with it. It will get rid of most of the dust.

I bought mine about a year ago and I haven't had any problems. I did let it sit on a newspaper for about a weekend. That thing does come with a bunch of that wax!

I use it about twice a week. My work is in an industrial area so even if I wash my car on a Sunday come Monday night when I look at it in the garage, there is a lot of dust/industrial junk/etc.
so the duster removes it pretty well.

Ive had a duster for a long time... works great for light dust... especially on dark cars, where you can really see the dust

Just remember not to apply presuure... just let the duster lighty drag across the surface... that's all you need.

Works best on a cool surface. If the car's surface is hot, you might get some streaks. No biggie though, they wipe off with a little Z6. Get the nice one with the wooden handle.
