I have a Cali Duster for the car and a mini Cali Duster for my wheels.

The problem is that your car is parked outside and I'm sure moisture will settle on it at night and makes the dust stick to the surface more. The Cali Duster is meant to pick up loose dust and not meant to "wipe" the car. How about a car cover? Or one of those portable car tents?

Precisely. Don't just drag the duster across your car. Lightly feather the dust off, and apply no pressure.

Also Meguiar's Quik Detailer wipe for the bird poop.

If I'm leaving my car in the driveway for more than a day, then I'll cover it with a Noah car cover. It really helps keep my car clean!
