I was just wondering what you guys use to clean the dust off your car. Also, what do you use for the inside?

Mine is black and my parkade is really dusty. I hate it when I clean it nice and then it gets a layer of dust!

Lets share some ideas...

California Car Duster for exterior. A little Meguires leather care on a microfiber cloth for the interior. I use brushes for the vents--but that's usually when I'm doing the "whole deal" not just a dust touch-up.

There is also a California Mini Duster for the inside of the car http://www.californiacardusters.com/shoppi...dashduster.html . I have one and use it, but I also use a microfiber cloth.

+1 for the California duster, but with a caveat. When it's new, and when your car is hot, it can leave streaks on your paint as the fibers on the duster are coated with a paraffin solution. Somewhat paradoxically, the dirtier it gets the better it cleans and the streaking issue fades away.
