Dusters between washings...
Does anyone use a duster on their car between washings?
I bought a product called the "California Duster" at the auto shop, but haven't used it that. The material seems soft enough, and it's been brushed with parafin wax to help pull the dirt away - the instructions claim this wax won't hurt the car.
the one thing that makes me skeptical about the product, however, is that they claim the dirtier it gets the better it works. This doesn't make sense to me. You can have the softest material in the world, but if it's covered in dirt and grit that's going to scratch your car if you don't clean it first.
there are instructions for cleaning the brush, and obviously I don't have to use mine when it's dirty, but the fact that they seem to be encouraging people to use it when it's dirty makes me think that they might not know what they're talking about when it comes to the wax not hurting their car either.
Has anyone used this particular brush, an alternate, or should these products be avoided in general?

i love mine. it really comes in handy during the spring when the pollen is real bad. i have used the same one for about 3 years and have never had a problem with scratching at all.
