New Purchases
 
Posted on the "Detailing" thread as well...

As my new Z Roadster is a second "hobby" car, it will most likely never see rain, snow nor even the Wal-Mart parking lot. Still, while always garaged, it collects dust; so after some research, I bought a California Duster (just $10 at Wal-Mart). I was a bit wary; but if you follow the instructions and use it lightly and with care, it works perfectly to remove surface dust, etc. with no streaks or scratches, and with a bit of a polishing/shine effect to boot. Works very nicely for my needs, but my needs are far from the norm, so YMMV.

Also (after much research) I entered this Internet order today via AutoGeek.com - one-stop shopping & reasonable prices IMO (no affiliation, and this is my first order). Decided it was time to upgrade from my common orbital buffers/polishers, and treat my "Z" to the best.

Yeah I use it too. I also use the absorber which some say scratches your car. I haven't had a problem with either.

I have an old Cali Duster that has been hanging around in the garage since I got rid of my last black sports car.

I never found much of a scratching issue, I also use a lot of Zaino on the car so I actually don't have to dust as often. I will wash it when it gets rained on and spotted. Then I will Zaino it once it is dry, and then Zaino it probably twice a week. The Z6 gloss enhancer takes care of those pesky bug strikes nicely and only takes 10 minutes to do the whole car.
