Thinking of getting one from Griot's, any other suggestions? I note that some people here say they use one to keep their wheels clean, but I'm not sure that's going to be much help with the amount of brake dust I have. While I'm on their site, a friend says the Griot's glass wipes and tire dressing is also excellent...suggestions on anything else I need from them? And where should I buy microfiber towels these days? Thanks in advance....

Griots has great specialty auto products, but they are not cheap.
I use California car dusters--1 for the interior:

1 for the wheels:

and 1 for the exterior:

No matter how much brake dust accumulates, the duster will easily remove it, unless you've driven in the rain, which causes the dust to disolve and get stuck on.
Griots window cleaner wipes are great--gets the windows squeaky clean, and no overspray on the dash or door panels:

And their lint free towels are also great:

I assume all these products are available in Canada? Anyone have the links as to where to buy them?

Thanks for the info, that's what I was looking for...And yes, I would like one of the green Dusters as well. Thinkit's going to be a bit tougher find, however.

Too funny, Rudy. Good one.Here's a 1972 Plymouth Duster - Green... looks cool.
PS - the California Dusters than stream recommends do work well ... I use mine several times a week.
