Quick dust removal...
What is the safest way to remove dust from your car's surface ?
Most times I wash my Black Corvette Grand Sport after driving and then place in our garage. After a couple of days there will be a fine layer of dust on the surface of the car. What is the safest, paint friendly way to remove this dust before driving. With my old C6 Black Grand Sport I used to use Adam's or Pinnacle detail spray with a microfiber towel and spray and wipe off. The new GS's paint is excellent, no swirls etc. I want to keep it that way. What would you suggest I do to keep it in this condition ?
Thanks

Waterless washes are utilized in nearly the same exact way as a quick detailer. If you find the quick detailer isn't sufficient, then use a waterless wash. It has higher lubricity.

Re: Quick dust removal...
I've had great luck with a California Duster over the years. Some streaking when brand new, but once dirty it works great. Has never induced scratches or swirls, etc. But...I have found it to be color/paint dependent. On my white truck, zero issues. On my Magnetic (metallic grey) Focus and my dark blue Lexus, it causes some streaking that has that hologram look (not sure what the correct term is). It's a surface thing and not anything being done to the paint cause I can take a MF and QD and very quickly and easily with one pass completely remove the induced hologram/streaks. I don't know how to combat this, but I think this is the safest way to daily/weekly remove dust and road grime, IMO.

•If you will first remove the
word "Quick" from your
dust-removal glossary
{What's the big hurry?}....
•Then, IMO:
-You can use the tried-and-true
Detail Sprays/WWs processes
to remove light dust accumulation.
•Here's an excellent "dusty article"

If you have to go over with a QD why not just skip the California Streaker.

Re: Quick dust removal...
Well...I guess my philosophy is that the duster is lifting the dust/road grime/contaminants off the surface and now I'm wiping on a contaminant free surface, thus further reducing the likelihood of inducing something that wasn't previously there.

Good in theory, but doesn't always work especially on black.
