I have had one for about 5 years now and it still works great. I believe it tells you to do this but if you buy one make sure and let it sit on a newspaper for about 24 hours to absorb all the excess wax.

I've used one for years. Works good for light dust, pollen, etc.

I have one too... And make sure to keep it in the case and follow the instructions to keep it clean... But otherwise does a job of quickly removing dust as needed, although it not a replacement for regular washes

It's one of the most basic yet useful tools.

Great for clearing off dust and tree stuff in fall off the car, I put mine in the wash which is a no no, but I then sprayed it with spray wax and it once again worked great.

I love ours. Gets the dust off very very easily. Just make sure to never wash it, or it supposedly won't work again. if a bird poops on your car or something else nasty, wipe it off with a wet paper towel before dusting.

I have had the same one for years and it dose the job on a dry car. Just remember it is for dust an NOT a dirt & grime remover.

I have to use mine nearly everyday since the GXP parks outside. Absolutely disgusting what happens to a non-silver car left outside this time of year.

I've had mine for a few years and must say that it's definitely worth the investment. Even inside a garage, my black cars get very dusty. This tool has come in very handy for those times. I have never washed mine yet. Just take it outside and shake it, use an air compressor to blast off the dust and particles, etc.

All so true, ..., But don't compromise & buy an 'off-brand'.
Best money you'll spend this month!
I've used them for years too.
