California Duster
I've read a lot of varying opinions on this, especially when it comes to black bikes. What are you guys consensus on this? Having owned two black bikes and a couple of black trucks, I know that swirls are a fact of life with this color. I bought one, but have not used it yet. I guess I'm not sure I trust it yet, still using the microfiber cloths. Feel free to wade in on this subject.

No problem with the Cali Duster on my black SG. I use it very gently and never push down. I can see having problems with abrasive sand and dust if you push down on it where the head of the duster makes contact with the paint. Use it lightly and it works without ill effects. JMHO

Been using them for 20 years with no problem. Just float it over the surface and you will have no problems. If you haven't done so since you bought it, let it sit overnight on a piece of newspaper to wick off excess wax.

I use several of them. I have a Classic Mustang and use it on that with no problems. I use it to dust the inside of the camper and I use one on my Black Ultra with no problems.

I used to paint and show hot rods and used a ca duster on them all. the trick is to not put pressure on the duster just let it kinda touch the bikes paint and it will lift the dust I use mine on my bike every time I get home there is alot of dust here this time of year.
