Dust on a car's surface can be swept away with a feather duster or rinsed off with clean water. Below are methods for cleaning a car: Using a feather duster: Gently sweep the dust off the car's surface with a feather duster. It's very soft and won't scratch the paint, provides excellent dust removal, is compact, and can be conveniently stored in the trunk. Using a damp cloth: Wipe the dusty areas with a damp cloth. This method also offers great dust removal, leaving the wiped areas clean and shiny. Using a soft brush: A modern car soft brush can also be used to brush off dust. This material is highly effective at attracting dust due to its static electricity properties. Using a water spray gun: Turn on the faucet to create pressure with the spray gun, then rinse the dusty areas of the car. It's very convenient and economical.

I think cleaning the dust off a car's surface requires some attention to detail. I often do it myself. First, I use a soft-bristle brush or a feather duster to gently sweep away the larger dust particles. Avoid wiping directly with a cloth to prevent scratching the paint. Then, I spray some car-specific neutral cleaner and wipe it evenly with a microfiber cloth. Just rinse it off with some water from a bucket—it saves time and money. Be careful not to wash the car under direct sunlight, as the sun can turn water droplets into water stains and damage the paint. Additionally, accumulated dust over time can corrode the paint, affecting both its appearance and resale value, so I take ten minutes every week to wipe it down. Choosing the right tools makes the job easier—avoid using regular rags or stiff brushes. The tools available at automotive stores are more than sufficient.

There are quite a few methods for cleaning car dust, with the key being to protect the paintwork. I usually start by gently sweeping off the dust with a damp sponge to avoid harsh rubbing. Then, I spray some car wash soap using a spray bottle and wipe the car surface clean with a soft cloth. Avoid using household soap water as its high acidity can corrode the paint. After washing, make sure to dry the car with a chamois cloth, otherwise water spots will make dust stick more easily. Doing this regularly can reduce the risk of scratches and extend the paint's lifespan. Try to park in a shaded area to minimize dust accumulation. Add a bit of care during cleaning.

I deal with dust on the car surface in a simple way. When the dust is not thick, just wipe it with a wet cloth dipped in clean water, but don't rub too hard to avoid damaging the paint. If there's a lot of dust, first spray some water with a spray bottle to rinse it off, then wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Remember to choose a clean cloth and avoid rough materials. Regular small cleanings can keep the car looking bright and beautiful.
