unless you live in california, a car duster is almost useless. Go get some
supplies like car wash (dont use dish liquid), good quality wash mitt, lint
free cloth's, chamois. Diffeniately wax your vechile, once a month is fine
for most people. Where the car is a 2000, id go pick up a clay bar kit and
do that before waxing it, it will get out all the fine particles of dirt
that are embedded in your paint that you can't see. Get a good quality wax,
mothers or maguiars should be fine. Follow the instructions on the boxes and
your paint should look a hell of alot better and last alot longer
