The 10 Best Car Dusters

The California Car Duster 62424 Kit (around $24) combines the original, classic model with a smaller one for use inside the car. Both feature 100% cotton mop heads that are treated with paraffin wax to lift dust on the first pass without scratching your car's finish.

Although they can only go as far as you can reach, these Eurow Terry Weave Mitts (appx. $8) are, nevertheless, great for quickly swiping away particles from any surface. They can be used wet to clean or dry to dust, and they won't leave scratches, swirls, or streaks in their wake.

The durable Relentless Drive Ultimate (about $28) boasts an unbreakable steel handle that extends over 28 inches to help you clean hard to reach areas. The large electrostatic microfiber head picks up dust and all that annoying springtime pollen without leaving behind any lint.

The Takavu Multi-Functional (around $25) has a sturdy telescoping handle that expands to an impressive 32 inches for cleaning at any angle, and comes with a handy bag for storage. Its wide head picks up plenty of debris in one pass, which means you'll get more done in less time.

The Oxo Good Grips Microfiber (appx. $10) features the classic, ergonomic nonslip handle the brand is known for. The long head is thin and flexible for easy maneuvering in and around tight curves and spaces. It can wear out quickly, but inexpensive replacement heads are available.

The compact Prestige Auto Care Ultra (appx. $8) is large enough to clean your dashboard in one quick sweep, but small enough to be stored in most glove compartments, so you can always have it on hand. The microfiber head can be removed and machine washed.

The convenient Moon River Super Soft (around $7) can be slipped into the storage pocket on your door and boasts wax-treated strands that reduce static and capture dust particles. While it is safe for the exterior finish, it's so small it would take forever to clean the whole car.

A versatile tool that's appropriate for both auto detailing and use around the house, the J&A Lambswool (appx. $12) has a flexible head that's good for getting into hard to reach areas, and it contains natural lanolin that traps and holds onto small particles effectively.

These Senhai Mini (appx. $8) are ideal for perfectionists who like to detail their cars themselves. Their stiff brush ends help loosen crumbs and dirt from all the nooks and crannies, while the layered cloth sides clean out dusty vents with a few quick swipes.

The Kitchen + Home Compact (appx. $8) is a convenient little companion to have around for light-duty jobs, whether it's clearing dust from a GPS screen or sweeping out a cupholder, and it fits neatly into any glove box or center console.
