Swiffer Duster - quick and effective!!!!
OK,
My scoot gets pretty "dusty" after a day ride. Won't need a wash or shine, it just gets that thin film of light dirt everywhere that makes it look like $hit.
Used to wipe that crap off with a feather duster or a rag.
Now I'm using the Swiffer.
In under two minutes, the dust in gone - top to bottom / front to back.
And it keeps that "wet wax shine". This thing is awesome.
Over the past few weeks since using Swiffer, I've gotten more comments on the looks of my scoot than the last five years combined - no kidding
Go figure. Just thought I'd pass the tip it along - kinda "girlie" but it does the job well

I was curious about trying this as well. On a dark (black especially) bike, I worry about creating more swirl or scratch marks. Without any water or lube, I would think that is possible. I know the swiffer or cali duster is picking up the dust, but dust is fine particles of abrasives. Moving them around on the paint without water or lube, to me would cause more scratching. Let us know if you notice any of that long term! Hope it works out great, sounds good so far.

Been using the California mini-duster for 3 yrs. Living on a dirt road, this works great for me.

I have a black Heritage. Have been using the "Swiffer" for a couple years now. Just run it lightly over the entire bike. Takes the dust right off. Haven't noticed any swirl marks that were caused by the duster, although I do have swirl marks. I got them from just looking at the bike
