Default California duster?

Anyone here has experience using it? Feedback? Does it create swirls? Does it work at all?

their is a cheap one crappy tire sells, and a good one Homer2 sells.. get the good one as I believe it's treated with more amount of that paraffin stuff..

I've never had any swirl problem on account of it..

I use it, no swirls but it does leave a residue on the car. Z6 fixes that...

oh and I almost forgot..

I believe you have to let it sit for a night or two on newspaper, so the paraffin coating can be evenly distributed with air.. sumthin' like that .. can't remember it was so long ago..

It works on my GPW just fine. I do have somw swirl marks, but the car is a year old now so I'm not sure whether the duster had much to do with it...

Nothing wrong with the cheap one. It's just got a different handle the "mop" is the same. It's still a "California Duster". Use it only for dust. If you use it when there is dirt on the car, you will cause marks.
The dirtier it gets, the better it works. Just shake it real good before and after each use. Get the baby one too for the interior.
