Quick dust removal...

Leave your car dusty and wash it once a week. Unless you really want to help someone like Zach buy a new lexus.
 
I am one in the "Duster" camp.

Takes 3-5 minutes to do my 2001 Grand Prix and I do it almost daily.

I don't use it to remove grime or when it is not dry.

Any streaks you might see are Parafin wax residue and like most waxes need to be buffed off after application.

There are too many pro and against camps to convince anyone to change.

I say try it and if you don't like it don't use it.

How is that any different than dragging a mf across all the dust and grime and picking it up and dragging it across the paint?

Lubricant is the key. See the post from conman.

I use Ultima Waterless wash everyday (no garage and black) and yes I have swirls, but its been a year. I'm hoping Car Pro Essence Plus will hide some minor swirls and give the CQuartz coating a boast.

Can we see a pic in direct sun of what 1yrs. worth of near daily waterless washing looks like on your black paint? Curious.

Obsessed is what the lazy call the dedicated.

If I owned a black car I too would want to wash it daily, but wouldn't have the time.

You're obsessed:) I'm lazy!

Don't get me wrong... the majority of my washes on my own car are rinseless washes... but still on the every 1-2 week schedule. Not daily, or every other day.
 
The dust in my underground garage is like black dirt. If I leave it too long. After a week a duster would just push it around.
Think I'll try Uber in WW ratio. I've been letting the dust build up not wanting to do a full foam & wash just for dust,
even black dust.
Swear there was a layer building 5 mins. after the last wash. Uber may cut down the static.

Looks ok from a few feet away, but it does have some light wiping swirls. No sun today will try a close up in full sun later.
 
I shoot my car with compressed air to remove loose dust then qd or ww. On my dark blue 911, my 15 year old California duster leaves streaks and micro marring so I rarely use it.

I'll have to come up with a new system for the new grey car since the duster streaks it. No streaking at all and no induced damage on my white truck, so I'll continue there. I need to get on the rinceless bandwagon. Haven't drank that koolaid yet, but plan to.

Waterless washes are utilized in nearly the same exact way as a quick detailer. If you find the quick detailer isn't sufficient, then use a waterless wash. It has higher lubricity.

idk if you guy by the directions on the wolfgang uber rinseless page thier quick detailer is more concentrated then the waterless wash

I also use ONR occassionally myself but it's for my weekly wash and not for mid week dust removal. I just like to reduce any friction efforts on my black paint. I do like Ck996tt's compressed air blow!

•If you will first remove the
word "Quick" from your

{What's the big hurry?}....

•Then, IMO:
-You can use the tried-and-true
Detail Sprays/WWs processes
to remove light dust accumulation.

A wise man in the auto business once told me there are 3 things to remember. You can have a job done 3 ways. Fast. Cheap, or Good but you can't have all 3 on one job. Think about that and something will always be lacking. For example if you want it done fast and correctly you would have to put extra manpower to get that result so the price goes up. always take one of those out of the equation so the customers comes back to reality.

The duster doesn't remove grime, just dust.

For grime you need a lubricant and cleaning abilities.
