no. i generally do not like to touch the car until the next wash, but you can always do a rinseless or waterless wash...

I wouldn't use it on paint. Stick with a waterless, rinseless and maybe a QD if it is very light dust.

I only use a swiffer on the inside to remove dust.

We've had bad spider infestations since the Quebec pesticides ban went into effect several years ago (no domestic lawn and garden pesticides = more insects, more insects = more spiders to prey on them). At work, with all the huge floodlights on all night, the spider situation is downright disgusting.

While I'm not "terrified" of spiders, they do ook me out, big time. And just like they get everywhere else, they set up shop in our cars. I keep Swiffer dusters in our cars and give a quick swipe every day just to keep the spiders at bay.

All that said, Swiffer dusters are meant for house dust. I would never use it on car paint to remove dirt and road dust.

I actually use one of those on my Harley, which had super soft vivid black paint. Haven't had any issues with it marring the paint. But I only use it on dust that accumulates from sitting in the garage.

I keep a Swiffer in the car to wipe down interior panels. Never ever thought of using on the exterior and never plan to do that.

I agree's with The Guz, and VISITOR leave the duster to wiping interior down or home
