It Just Works - Car Wash

I've had these things for years. I just replaced one I had for a while that stopped working. I put this on paper a few days before using it and it works fine. A shortcoming, however, is that after the first two applications, small red fibers remain on the car. It rubs off fairly easily with microfiber and I know it will stop after a few uses, but it's a bit annoying. Otherwise no real complaints

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Quick Guide

Perfect for my hunt!

I had one of these rags a few years ago and loved it. Unfortunately it was lost when moving. The new shoe works just as well as the old one. Right out of the box it removed dust and pollen and my jaguar looked great. No problems with lint or wax streaks. I was expecting it to take a break-in period before it actually works, but no. The pollen here in spring is very heavy, but the California Duster will get the job done. I recently attended a car show and lost count of how many people use theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Good but not great

Not as good as it used to be!

Let me start by saying that they are all made in Korea. I have 3 of these, have been using them since the mid 90's. I had a pearl white car and a black car. I live in the Northeast and the pollens here are unforgiving. In any case, I notice that the shell that the rag comes in has become thinner and the rag itself is much lighter. My first two really did the job, but the last one pretty sucks compared to the first two. I had to wash the car after using it because the red fibers, along with theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Damaged

I love my California Duster!

I needed a new one because my husband accidentally washed our original magnet and ruined the dust magnet. We live on the beach and constantly struggle with dust due to the coastal winds and no garage. A slight wave of the CA cloth and our machines are ready to go! Remember that you don't need to wash a dirty car, only dust. Also, never use it on a car with any kind of moisture or you will just smear it. I wrapped it in newspaper for a few days before using it to soak up the excess wax. My oldโ€ฆ

  • Easy to use
Cons

Great product with one important caveat

These items are great for cleaning your car and are advertised to get better with age until they stop working. I recently noticed that my '65 Mustang's hood has a lot of swirling scratches, a pattern I use for dust. If my wife hadn't fallen to the ground and lied about it, I'd say they have a finite lifespan. They get better over time until they soak up abrasive. I would suggest keeping an eye on your fairing and swapping it out if necessary as I will be spending a few hundred bucks on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Great for exterior maintenance

This is my third California mop and I have used it on my 1995 Ford F250 pickup. Earlier models had wooden handles. The plastic handle makes it easier and more convenient to use. I see no difference between the old model and this one. A quick dust cleaning will make your car look like new. Of course, this only happens if your paintwork is in good condition. I was once driving through the Sierra Nevada mountains of California to visit my brother who lived outside of Susanville, California. Uponโ€ฆ

  • Decent performance

Exceeded my expectations. Works great!

I've had a few true California Car Dusters over the years and loved them all! I hoped they hadn't changed when I placed my order. When I received it, the new one did not disappoint! A few other reviewers mentioned excess wax and the rag leaving red particles. I haven't had any of these problems. I was actually going to let it air out on a paper towel pillow but after the first night there was no wax on the paper towels so I decided to give it a try. My truck was VERY dusty after being in myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Older model

It's terrible. I don't understand all the hymns of praise.

I don't understand how people can use and like this thing. I followed the original instructions up to the tee. He says to take it out of its case and put it on a piece of newspaper for a few days to let the wax dry. i did this and man was there a lot of wax. Every day I had to replace the newspaper he was sitting on because it was soaked with wax. You can literally flip the newspaper and drip the wax. But I was like, okay what the heck, it dries out however they want. He then says that afterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Little things
