I've had mine a while and I still let the car cool before dusting. That's not the type of "wax" you want.

***be sure to shake out the California Car Duster before and after use, last thing you want is particles trapped in the duster while you slide it along your car...

I don't "dust" mine as such. I wash it with car shampoo and water every week. Currently using this: http://www.waxit.com.au/proddetail.asp?prod=Z7&cat=6

I think that dusting it with a duster could cause micro scratches, but i'm probably wrong.

On the interior I use this http://www.waxit.com.au/proddetail.a...d=EZ0008&cat=9 on a microfibre cloth.

+1 on the California duster...

For the interior I use microfiber gloves. I just put them on and gently massage the interior

I use compressed air to dust it off between washings. A damp rag and vacuum on the inside.
