so whatever the amount of dust it will clean in one go or there is any specific way to clean with it
Just swiping it over the whole body will finish your job and very quick indeed, make sure you don't swipe when there is water and mud in the body. The purpose of the duster is to take away all the loose dust only.

As suggested please, use these dusters very gently on the car paint or you will induce swirls over the period of time. Please, don't use it on heavily dusted car.

Sharing a good video on how to use these dusters properly on the car paint -

Have you tried any glass cleaner like Meguiar's Glass Cleaner? Although a bit costly but you can dilute the solution and it works perfectly.
i have mga kit its shampoo doesnt make foam. glass cleaner doesn't not do anything. And can i use mf cloth for windshield or not?

You can also use B&W newspaper to clean and dry the glass after wash but i found good MF cloth better.

I am using Autofresh - Glass Cleaning Microfiber cloth.3M all purpose MF cloth will work equally well.

Dried water marks will be tough to remove with plain water.It will streak with MF. Use some specialized cleaner or try to wash it with your car wash shampoo and use Black and white newspaper to clean and dry the surface or streak free glass cleaning MF

Tushar,

Just use a MF cloth to clean your glasses. If you dont have cloth, use a newspaper or tossue. Its good to keep a box of tissues in your glove box for removing bird droppings from time to time

On a side note, I did try out the 12v pressure washer to wash my car. Once the o-ring seals that came with the washer were installed, all the leakages were fixed and it has sufficient pressure to clear dried up bird droppings also. Makes life much easier when your washer guy doesnt show up and to clean those troublesome areas like seam lines, wheel arches, badge corners etc where dust tends to accumulate
