    Just recently bought a California Car Duster after going over the good reviews here. Now, can any tell me how to use it properly?

    just run it gently on the surface of your car.. make sure the car is dry.

    as much as possible i use it in only one direction, left to right or right to left then shake (for my own purpose) orig CCD is a bit heavy so no need to put pressure on it.

    use the duster only when the car's surface is cool. may wax like component kasi mga duster natin (paraffin ata) kaya baka mag leave ng smudges pag mainit pa car surface tapos gamitin agad.

    btw, you have to aeriate it on a newspaper for 24 hours or so after removing it from its packaging. may instructions naman po iyan kasama

    That's right, the wax that is 'baked' into the fiber is paraffin. Best not to wash it like your conventional P10.00 duster no matter how filthy it looks to you.

    CCD does not push the dust around but actually absorbs it and yup, it is better to wipe on one direction then shake it off.

    Mine works perfectly for my black car which is a pain-in-the-neck to maintain

    I guess it helps nga not to use it on wet surfaces. Dapat dry surface lang talaga.

    But don't worry, just like my first set before, iitim din yan over time

    Sa dry surface lang naman ginagamit. Kaso alam mo na, the black soot na galing sa mga diesel na mga sasakyan.

    mga tsikoteers, last week may nabili ako CCD sa Blade color nya brown
    handle nya plastic din pero di tulad ng nasa picture dito tsaka para wala syang wax. 800+ din bili ko, tanong ko po kung Original po ba itong nasa blade?

    My CCD just looks like what you have with a yelow handle except walang maliit na CCD. I also use it for my black innova. Thanks for the advice. Kaso lang, before I read these replies, nagamit ko sya agad even if the car was still warm (immediately after turning off the engine). Excited kase. I'll never do that again.

    Gising kapa hangang ngayon, at anong oras na diyan sa Pinas?

    Talaga namang sobra ang excitement mo dahil hindi kana yata natutulog ah! Iba talaga kapag may bagong kotse.

    kung sa blade iyan nabili most likely orig iyan. pero check mo na lang dito to satisfy your curiousity: http://www.calcarduster.com/productsAuto.asp.

    btw, has anybody here tried their product called the california jelly blade? i tell you, it's so convenient for those who clean their cars themselves. it'll almost shave off half the time you usually allocate when bathing your ride admittedly, it's a bit pricey, but then again, w/ the convenience it generates, i think it's worth every friggin' centavo

    Yeah! It does cut drying time in half.
    But i only use that on my wife's silver car. On my black car, I'm a bit scared.... For my black car.. it's traditional waffle weaves pa rin.

    If I dont have the MF towel I might get the jelly blade. pero since very satisfied na ko sa towel ko don na lang muna ko. and yes, a little bit scared ako sa jellyblade. dark color din kotse ko eh.
