Review on πŸš— The Ultimate Car Cleaning Essential: The Original California Car Duster - 2 Pack by James Trapkin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NOT the quality of the original like many years ago

I have used the "Original California Car Boot" for many years. The latter served me for five years and did an excellent job. The new one I got recently (2019) seems lighter and contains so little paraffin that it's almost imperceptible - at least to me. I followed the supplied instructions of drying a new rag on a piece of newspaper for 48 hours before use and have started using it on my new (2019) Honda Ridgeline. Knowing it would need a few uses before it started working, I was hoping it would start cleaning like all previous California Car Dusters I'd owned. After cleaning my Ridgeline and Prius and two of my neighbor's cars several times over the past week (to speed up the break-in time), I have to say I'm very disappointed. This latest feather duster appears to be nothing more than a simple hand wiper, with little if any concern for 'dusting' or 'cleaning' the car. Remember I never let my cars get very dirty. I wash them once a week, so I only use a rag to remove the light dust that accumulates when driving in good weather, and then in a closed garage. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this latest version of the "Original California Car Boot".

Pros
  • exterior care
Cons
  • weight
