How to use the California Car Duster?

[attyallanlatras]

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

[_Qwerty_]

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.

[baludoy]

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

Parang duster lang na one direction, then pagpag after a panel.

BTW, do not wassh the CCD. Masisira.

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

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?

Microtex yata yun and not CCD.

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

[woohoo]

Magkano ba iyung water blade? I'm interested, but I found some negative feedbacks on this page: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/car-...lade-junk.html

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.

is there any indicator when one should replace their duster?
ive forgotten how effective mine was when i first got it, and it seems to me that it is not as efficient lately as it should be.

The trick is to suspend the California Car Duster above the paint surface so the strands are just barely touching the surface.

Don't use it like a mop, and don't apply pressure while using it, for doing so will cause marring on the paint.

Hope this helps.
