Getting dust off

Postby land864 » Tue Mar 16, 2010 12:20 pm

Other than tripping on down to the local car wash and having a quick 'water only ' high pressure spray and then a chamois , is there a safe way off removing dust that won't damage the duco?

Just that I live on a dirt road :roll:

The only way that won't damage the paint with swirl marks etc. is to wash it off.

I use a very fine and fluffy lambswool duster which works extremely well.
