as title goes, is it ok? or just after wash? or use QD only if necessary? everyday sounds obsessive.
 
everyday? I wish I had that kind of time. I would be scared of making swirls...
 
i dont have that time either, just ask out of curiousity, to follow it up, how do you take off dust in your car?
 
It is ok, by depends how dirty your car gets. If it rains - no, don't use it.
 
I know people here will cringe, but if it's a really light dusting I use a cali duster. I only use QD after I wash
 
keeping in my that I never drive my car (fun one, that is) in the rain, I qd it EVERY time I drive it. As soon as I pull back into the garage, out comes the Pinnacle CM. No ifs, ands, or buts. And, I have NO swirls!!! Just make sure you use a good, clean MF and lots of product.
 
Instead of QD every day, why don't you wash it twice a week if time allows. That will be the best. Remember to use QD after every wash.

I have used the OXO duster. As long as you move in one direction it works good I think. I usually follow us with PB S&W or a QD after words. Its a good midweek fix in between washes I think.

I have used a Ca. duster on my vette and acura for years follow with a quality quick detailer, never had a problem. Only caution would be if your vehicle is dirty, then a wash is in order. Quick detailer can be used as often as you want will only keep it looking good. Im the MAN
 
Actually we have a few Cali duster users on this forum. I have one but never use it since I don't have a garage. My car gets dust (courtesy of the 3 condos going up down the street from my house) mixed with morning dew and I wouldn't touch that with a Cali duster. I say it's okay to QD everyday if the car is garaged. If it sits outside and you get that dew/dust combo that cements when the sun comes out, I wouldn't touch it with a QD, I'd just wait until wash day comes. That's just my opinion so take it for what it's worth. :p

That is what I do. OXO duster first, then Poorboy's Spray & Wipe with either Cobra miracle towels or Cobra super plush towels. On my wheels I use cheaper older microfibers and DP 4-1 mixed at it's specified QD ratio.

The california duster is 100% cotton mop head with strands coated with paraffin wax. It acts like a magnet that gently removes dust and pollution. It will not scratch paint or clear coat finishes. However, be aware that imitations that are soaked in a greasy chemical can leave a oily film. I have used a cal. duster on all my cars including my 99 vette and never had a problem. Just my $.02Im the MAN :cheers:
