California duster and ceramics

If the duster inflicts Micro swirls, and I cannot see them easily (or at all), then I have zero problem with it.

I have no dog in the fight. Just curiosity.
I ‘risk’ using a brush on rare occasions
when my car has been sitting in the garage
for a couple days and a light dust has fallen
on it. I am fine with the potential micro
scratches I’m inflicting.

Wax or Sealant? TIA.

On the interior sometimes.... use to outside before I knew better. If i got 5 mins to dust i can make 15 to do a waterless/rinseless

Use to love it for pollen.... then sombody showed what a swirl was.....

Used to have a duster. Was good for quickie, almost touchless sweeps to feather off recently detailed paint. But results were never satisfying as some "dust" inevitably sticks to the paint tempting one to do a second sweep and brush a bit harder, or wipe off spots using quick detailer, which led invariably to wanting to QD the whole panel for consistency. This all ended with invention of ultra-plush microfiber towels and rinse-less wash . . . very satisfying results every time.

Your experience pretty much sums up mine. You can use the duster while barely touching, let static pick up dust. It won’t clean perfectly, but will help some. Then came the RW and WW rabbit hole for light cleaning which I may never climb out of.

In summary, dusters can be useful and can be used as gentle or harsh as you want them, but won’t give perfect results.
