Default 2005 Mustang Cleaning Question

I have this 05 Mustang and I see these guys at car shows using these dusters to get the dust off there rides. Are these things OK to use? Living in AZ I get a light coat of dust on the finish of My Mustang even while in the garage. Any suggestions on these??

they work great, they're just wax impregnated cotton dusters. I've had a couple for years. I have 1 in the trunk of every car I own.

I LOVE my California Duster. Works awesome if your car collects dust and pollen after being parked with no cover for a few hours. Lightly wipe it over your hood using no pressure and the dust just sticks to it. You should get one, sounds perfect for what your looking to do.

California Duster is awesome everyone should have one in their trunk IMO & the dirtier they get the better they work

I drive my car and when the wheels start to get brake dust buildup I spray the car off at the coin wash, leave without drying it and go drive it some more.

The hot ticket for dusting is a household lambswool duster... about $10 on amazon.

Spritz with a little detailer and lightly sweep it across the surface as you rotate it. You can wash them out in the sink with some hand soap and comb it out and it's dry in a few minutes.

I know a guy with a $1M+ show car who swears by the lambswool duster, and after trying it, I'm convinced it's better in many ways, especially on hot surfaces.
