Default getting the dust off
Nearly every time I take the bike out, I have a large amt. of dust on it. (NOT from sitting for a long time) Whats the best way to to just "dust" the bike, instead of cleaning it everytime?

Try a California Duster Mini.

Takes off the dust without scratching.

A mini California Duster is good and so is a Micro-Fiber hand mitt.

Also, if you will use Pledge on all horizontal surfaces, it will repel dust and make it easier to wipe it away...

Swiffer. It's pointy at one end so you can get the small areas.
