Default Dusting the A4.

I keep my A4 in the garage every night. It gets so dusty it seems like I park it in a body shop garage. I don't want to spend $10 every other day to keep it clean. Wiping kinda works but leaves stripes of dust. Do you recommend any kind of wiper that might take care of this problem? I am not so sure about those TV "only $9.95" things they have.

Default California AutoDuster thing...

works great, i think i paid 20 bucks for it on some website, can't remember now
but it takes just about all the dust off, no streaks, and no scratching.
gotta clean it every week or so though,

Default Re: California AutoDuster thing...

I got my california duster from Griotsgarage.com. Maybe, mine's too new,but,it seems like the wax on the duster sometimes streaks the paint (light pressure). Maybe, i've got to get the duster dirtier. Have to be careful around the sunroof, the red material seems to collect around the "felt" of the sunroof. Otherwise, it's ok.

We used to use the red duster thing around the house, but discovered that it left that reddish residue everywhere. Also, it was pretty oily...try leaving it on a newspaper overnight and see what happens.

Default Have you washed it??

I've washed mine several times now, and can't remember if it was oily new, but I don't think it's at all oily now.

What do you wax with? Silicone based products can cause this.

Why not dust the garage? Maybe easier and more effective in the long run?
