I have a car that spends winters in a fairly dusty garage, and this cleans it up quite nicely. Also great for between was quick details. They claim the dirtier they get the better they work, not sure if its true or not, but I have yet to fill one with dirt.

Works great if you have a rig parked in a dusty garage or where you live is all pavement and vehicle doesn't get dirty very often.

I use mine, but I always feel like I'm scratching the clear. I prefer to use compressed air if possible (at the shop), but if I'm at the track or a car show, I will use the car duster. Works great, I just hate knowing I'm dragging dust over the paint.

Careful using compressed air as it will have oil in the lines. If you are going to use air to blow your vehicle use an electric leaf blower or something.

I tossed mine in the trash. I got sick and tired of the scratches it left in the clear coat after spending hours and hours detailing my baby.

IMO it is the second worst thing you can do to your vehicle (cleaning/detailing wise) after going through and automatic car wash
