I have just washed the car, the car is dry and I am about to place the cover on it. Keep in mind that I wash my car INSIDE my garage, NOT outside where the car is constantly getting bombarded with all the dust being kicked up into the air by the wind and other cars going down the road. So after my car is dry, I may touch it up with the duster BEFORE I put the car cover on, because once you drive the car ONE BLOCK, it is now covered with dust. You may not be able to see the dust, but trust me, it is sitting on top of your paint. At that point, I will neither use the duster or cover the car because all you are doing is grinding that dust into the paint.
The way that the duster is designed is that dust is attracted to it with the help of the oil the duster is treated with. So the strands of the duster should BARELY touch the surface of the car. What you see MOST people do is smash the duster on the surface of the car, doing God knows how much damage to their paint. That's why I call it the work of the devil. That's also why I say that when used CORRECTLY and at THE RIGHT TIME, they are fine. Problem is, most folks have no clue of either.
Your car is going to pick up light damage if you use it. That is the nature of the beast. Thus, the last thing you want to do is help the process along by touching your paint incorrectly. When I am at a car show, I look at paint differently than most folks and I have seen some horrendous looking car with owners standing behind them, looking oh so proud. That's why I started unplugging people from the "paint matrix", so that they could see what I was seeing. I became so well known for doing this that I got to work on the Chip Foose NAPA truck that he built.
I don't travel as much as I did years ago because I got married and that is a full time job itself. I also have invested a ton more time into my I.T. business so time is not a luxury I have. But I still spread the knowledge wherever I can, but only if it is welcomed.
Here's an article from the CA Duster folks themselves. Take a look at it. I think you will find it useful. |
