    Question Removing dust from paint: dust mops, MF towels?

    HI everyone,
    I recently spent 6 hours removing swirls using the XMT series (used 3,2,1) and am happy with the results. That being said, I am trying to be careful not to add the swirls back.
    Will using one of those California car dusters to clean dust on the paint create swirls and/or scratches? What about a plush MF towel?
    If they do and will add swirls and scratches, what is a good method to keep the car clean from dust between washes?

    Thank you

    The best way to remove dust from paint is with a Master Blaster or a Sidekick. If that don't do it, it ain't dust - its dirt.

    generally after a wash or applying a LSP, i don't touch the paint until the next wash...

    Likewise I don't touch the paint until the next wash.
    In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

    Oh ok thank you very much. So based on the responses I definitely shouldn't use a car duster or MF towel to remove dust. I usually go a week between washes because of work schedule and hate to see all my hard work under a coat of dust here in dry so cal. Are the waterless washes a viable solution for a once a week between washes cleaning? Given that the dust appears to be statically clinging to the surface, will the blower methods work effectively?
    Thank you everyone for the suggestions and help
