This product is way to heavy for what its used for. What they could have at least done was make the handle from a lighter material like plastic. I don’t think doing that would have affected the effectiveness of this product. As for claiming what it does, I’m slightly impressed. There have been numerous occasions where multiple passings were needed in the same area only to discover, once I pulled the car out of the dimly lit garage, it still hadn’t picked up all the dirt. Am I doing it wrong? Am I not applying enough pressure? Don’t know but what I do know is that I won’t be recommending this product to anyone I know.

Recieved the California duster kit from Amazon and tried it out right away. It works perfectly. The dust that would normally leave streaks if caught in a light sprinkle is gone and the shine is back. I let the wife try the smaller duster in the house and I don’t think I will be getting it back. She loves how it works dusting the furniture. May have to buy another one. Gerald S.

If you live in a state where your main enemy is dust, then you will appreciate this product. The fibers are soft, so they don’t damage your car, and the size of this brush is just right for an average sedan. It takes me approximately 5 minutes to remove all dust from our black car. It is not a wonder brush by any means, sometimes you will have to swipe the same area several times, but it does what it is supposed to do at the end. I am very happy with the final result. Somebody wrote that the handle is too bulky and heavy, but I actually like it. Heavy handle helps me to apply just enough pressure to remove dust fast and effectively, but I can see how this can be a matter of personal preference. I believe there is a cheaper version of the same brush which has a plastic handle. I didn’t have a chance to utilize a small brush, so I cannot comment on it. Also, I don’t know how important is to follow instructions (let it air for several hours and then not wash it after each use), but I am following these recommendations.

First off, buying in this kit is a better value than buying each separately. At first, I was skeptical about these car dusters. But after buying these and using them for the past couple of months, I have to agree with the other positive reviewers here that they work very well.
I bought these to use with my black car, which just seems to collect (and show) dust even a day after a car wash. The large duster is the perfect cleaning tool to get rid of that light layer of pollen or dust between washes. It is large enough that I can quickly wipe over my entire car in less than a minute! I keep them in my trunk all the time. Now when wiping, you should do it lightly to not scratch your car with any dirt debris that is trapped in the brush. Also, as others have mentioned, the first couple times you use it, you may actually get some paraffin wax streaks but this definitely gets better over time.
A few potential negatives to consider for the large duster. First, the wooden handle looks nice but it is somewhat heavy for a “duster” and can thus be a little unwieldy to use. I would have strongly preferred a lighter plastic handle. On my particular duster the red mop head would at times fall off the wooden handle, which was annoying. Also, it’s hard to clean the dirt off the duster because by doing so, you can strip the wax from the mop head which reduces its effectiveness. I rinse with a little bit of cold water and just let it stay a little “dirty.” Finally, the duster only lifts light surface dust. It is not effective for anything that is slightly more “stuck on” (e.g., rain spots).
The smaller duster is great. Its tiny, made of a light plastic and perfect for a quick dust off of the car interior. I use it constantly and I can quickly dust off my seats and dash in seconds! Obviously as a duster it doesn’t pick up larger debris or crumbs or whatever, but still a great thing to have around. Both dusters can obviously be used at home as well, though I haven’t done that and as I’ve mentioned before, the larger duster can be heavy to use for an extended period of time in the house – you may be better off buying a different one for that purpose.

The California Car Duster works great. I have one for every car I own and I also have the little mini dash duster. Its a product that lives up to its reputation.
