The California Car Duster is and always has been an incredible product. You will read many reviews about this leaving small surface scratches in your paint. This WILL NOT happen if used correctly. When you run this across your pain the tips of the duster should BARELY touch your paint, and I mean barely. If the threads are all scrunched up on your car because you are setting the duster on your car to remove dust YOU ARE scratching your clear coat. Its too bad so many people have thought poorly of this product simply because they didn't know how to use it. Overall this is a perfect product for removing light dust from your car from sitting in your garage or taking a drive down the road.
