Washing/cleaning the California Car Duster

[JimS]

This weekend, with weather forcasted to be in the mid 60"s for the first time in forever (!) I'm hoping to do my very first ever Dawn wash, then clay for the first time ever, then use the Zaino stuff I've accumulated (ZFX/Z2...on a 2002 Silverado, white). I'm thinking of caring for the shine after that.



I figure on washing as needed but inbetween I'll be dusting it daily and using Z6 frequently.....maybe daily?



My CCD looks to me like it's pretty dirty and I'm wondering if I should wash it or just pop for a new one.



Advice?



Thanks, JimS

Its supposed to work better the dirtier it gets. As long as their aren't any animals living in it or pine cones stuffed up there then it should still be fine to use. As fine as the CCD can be anyway. Nobody needs to ask how I feel about them. I'm just wreckless with it I guess.

Mine looked like it was getting too dirty, so I washed it. Big mistake. All the wax that is in the duster washed out and it's just not the same. No need to.

If you kept the instructions that came with the duster, it would tell you to wash it with Woolite. Basically a mild detergent that won't strip off the parafin that coats the yarn. I'm sure the generic "delicate fabric washes" are probably the same thing.



I would only wash it if it were really dirty though.
