Default Auto Dusters on the spyder

I have found a unique problem related to the use of auto dusters on the Spyder. My car is black so a good duster is essential equipment.

I have been happy with my California Car duster up until now. You know, it's the type with the red mop head type fibers.

My duster leaves red lint attached to the sun shade top material if I try to use it with the rear top anchors attached.

Does anyone have experience with other types of dusters?

Thanks in advance.

This what I do:
I have a boars hair brush I use for when I wash the car. I only air dry! After drying there is usually lint and other stuff still on the roof which I use blue painters tape to remove. Some use a lint brush. The roof fabric attracts things like crazy.
I would never use towels or dusters on it as it's like velcro.

Gary,

The easiest way to deal with this is to go to Costco or BJ's and buy a 6 pack of lint rollers. My procedure for cleaning the exterior after every single drive unless I get caught in rain:

1. Dust car using California duster very gently. (except wheels)
2. Wipe all body painted surfaces using the highest quality microfiber and quick detail spray.
3. Clean Glass using glass microfiber and isopropyl/di water.
4. Clean Wheeels using spray wax and cheaper microfibers
5. Use lint roller for top.

This takes about 1 hour to detail the exterior but the car is literally ready for a concours when I'm done.

Afshin,

thanks for the tips!
we're on water restrictions and can't wash our cars.
