Life expectancy of a California Duster

Double Nick · 05-06-2009, 07:59 PM

I have used a mini CA Duster on the boot of my MINI almost daily for 5 yrs and it still seems to do the job. Would I be wiser to get a new one for my soon to arrive 135? I just remember it took a long time for the duster to excrete the extra parafin--or whatever they use on both the Mini duster and the normal size one which gets used a lot in the Spring pollen season. Appreciate your feedback. Nick

mine is probably 10 years old. It seems to leave streaks on the paint now, of what I'm not sure (I've sent it through the washing machine) but I'd say it's time for a new one for me.
