How to keep black car dust free?

I was wondering how you guys keep your cars dust-free.

I'm pretty sure my car gets dusty because I park it in the garage and having 4 dogs doesn't help either...

Seems like hours after I wash my car it looks dusty all over..any tips?

Also, how about the California Duster for a black car? I heard many mixed reviews..

Sorry bro, comes with the territory. would shy away from that cali car duster, as the dust will be dragged across the clear coat and create scratches, just use some McGuiars Ultimate Detail Spray to keep it looking good...

Yeah, paint it silver. Just a joke.... I had a black M5 and it was impossible to keep clean. Just do the best you can and try not to drive yourself crazy.

I think it's okay to use the Cali Duster if you have a good coat of wax on the car and it is slick. The wax should make a protective layer. Just make sure the paint is smooth as a baby's *** when you use it and shake the duster after every stroke to take off most the dust before your next stroke.

+1 on using a duster if you have a good coat of wax on. I wax mine about once a week, and dust every other day w/o scratching.

Even with a good coat of wax, using the duster is still risky..... If you're not too obsessed about swirl marks, then the duster is okay, but otherwise, I'd avoid it.

The chances of you having your car dust free is the same chances of an E55 beating a BMW on M5board.com. Impossible...

I use the duster without any issues. I like it especially in the Spring with all the pollen that coats the car every morning. I don't use it if the car really needs to be cleaned. Just use light strokes and the dust clings to the brush. Shake it after every couple of swipes and don't use it on a warm car and you will be fine.

I always use the same stroke direction, with the airflow, when dusting or washing the car. That way if you do create any swirl marks they will all be going in the same direction and will be much less noticeable because they will all refract light from only one angle.
