a damp cloth on the 1st pass wouldn't work? then dry with a clean dry towel?
i just hate drying this car after a wash. its a real back breaker. it has to be so dry due to the calcium in tap/hose water.
i do have a duster, but dont like using it. and the car is garaged. so is quick deatiling uterly pointless also?

Once you have a good coat of wax on the car, drying is a whole lot easier. Most of the water runs off, especially if you wash it using the "sheeting" method.
Some people swear by quick detailing, I don't do it. If I have dust settled on my car, the duster works fine. If it gets too dusty or dirty, then washing is the way to go.

Umm, you don't wash a duster.

washing meaning soaking in warm water. How do you think you take the dirt out?
You can continue to use it if you want since you think you know how to work it. But don't tell novice people to use one.

You don't take the dirt out. It's pretty obvious that you don't know the first thing about the Cali Duster. It's even more obvious that you haven't even bothered to read the instructions on how to use or how to clean one. It is you that should not be giving advice related to the duster.
At least take a few minutes to read the instructions so when you erroneously give advice on it, you'll have some of the facts correct. Otherwise, you totally discredit your position by demonstrating your ignorance.
From the Cali Duster FAQ (http://calcarduster.com/faq.asp):
How do I clean my Duster?
Because of a special permanently baked in paraffin treatment, The Original California Dusters are made to provide years of effective service without the need for cleaning. Simply shake them out before and after each use. The "dirtier" they get the better they work.
If you find it necessary to clean your Duster because it is too dirty or if the Duster stops lifting dust, it can be washed. You may hand wash your Duster in cold water with a mild detergent such as Woolite, then air dry. Do not use hot water to wash or hot air to dry, as heat or harsh detergent may remove the special paraffin treatment.

My new workplace , we have to detail some big accounts including bentleys, 1 black lambo, porsches, all of which they WILL NOT let us use california duster. They said of minor scratching of previous show room cars. Maybe you guys use it for VERY VERY light dust but down here, i guess dirt builds up. We do have a duster down there but they are only to be used right before a polish job to take some minor dust away then taking away all of the scratches/swirls/marring.
My experience and pros around me say the same. Duster is no good. MY opinion though. Like you guys, you prefer them.

Soap molecules are long and stringy just like oil molecules are. The effect is that the soap molecule will latch onto the oil with its tail and be flushed away with other water molecules attached with its head.
Soap molecules also disrupt the surface tension of water. So in a way it flattens waters ability to remain in this sphere configuration and makes the water molecules flatter thus wetting everything even the smallest crevices.
