I went to Wal-Mart and bought a Cal. Duster and also the dash duster. I was reading a post that said to follow directions for "curing" the duster. I don't know what that means, can someone explain? Also, I thought the point of using Zaino products was to keep waxy, greasy stuff off the car, yet this is treated with a paraffin wax? I could only find the plastic handled one, does it really make any difference if it's wood or not?
One more question: I saw the "Absorber" that I've seen mentioned but it didn't look too impressive to me. It surely can't take the place of good cotton towels for drying, can it? Is it used for those places that seem to stay wet a long time, around moldings, trim, etc.? Thanks. . .

I know the older Car Dusters needed to be left on newspapers for 24 hours for the wax to cure. I don't know the mechanics behind the wax curing, but I know the thing works. It does not leave any wax or residue on the car surface. You don't have to cure the Dash Duster. The Absorber is a synthetic chamois. It works, but I don't think it is any better than towels.

Rox, The only thing the curing does when you place it on the news paper is to soak up all
the excess wax on the brush before you use it for the first time.

The absorber rocks. Its MUCH better than a towl. It soaks up 2x as much water as a similar sized towel plus you can wring 90% of it back out again very easily. Try that with a towel

All you have to do is put it on a paper for 24 hours. It will leave some wax on your car the first few times you use it. Just wipe it off with a towel. Dont worry about the wax, all that does it grab the dirt from your car. The dust sticks to the wax.
