RE: alternative to california duster?? - 11/2/2007 7:55:23 PM    burgernuds   Posts: 359 Joined: 7/9/2007 Status: offline so the towels will wipe the dust right off and i can just wash the towels later? what brands of spray on wax or whatever, do you reccomend? usually i just like to clean the car a little when i warm it up every morning for 3 minutes or so. I would also like to know step by step on what to use, in what order for max protection (on a black car) including clay bar and brands of wax or whatever. thanks < Message edited by burgernuds -- 11/2/2007 7:57:05 PM > (in reply to bakertime) Post #: 5

IT CAUSES MICRO SWIRLS IN THE PAINT THAT WILL STAND OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. I KNOW ITS JUST NOT RIGHT DRIVING A DIRTY CAR AROUND BUT I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR TWELVE YEARS AND IM STILL ROLLING AROUND WITH THE STOCK PAINT GETTING LOTS OF COMMENTS. WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND AND JUST WASH THE CAR AND KEEP IT WAXED AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE. (in reply to burgernuds) Post #: 6
