I think dusters scratch your paint...
they drag dust along the surface.
Does yours scratch?
And as long as you keep it waxed every 3 months and wash it every two weeks it shouldnt dull the paint. I dont remember how often he washes it but anyway.....

well my paint isnt in the GREATEST condition so i doubt over-washing will do much. i've got to wash it again though, today i visited my first place i worked at(hunt club dog kennel), there are dirt roads... ugh. i went about 5-7mph the whole way lol, still some dust mostly on the back end. i've been driving alone since yesterday(WOOOO license!!) and i love it. i took it to a somewhat secluded 4 lane divided road(2 each way) and floored it from about 15mph, omg it was sweet. i could still make out the small "chirp" when it shifted into second over the sounds of iron maiden blasting from my speakers i took it up to the speed limit(45, maybe a little over and let off.

also, yesterday i drove to sonic to get breakfast at like 11:00am and the roads were mostly dead, at a redlight some fool in a newer looking malibu(badged as a GT-R, so it was safe to assume hes mentally ill) revved on me. i nodded and when it turned green i eased on the throttle just enough to keep ahead of him til i was out of first gear then floored it til i reached about 40(speed limit was 35) and shut it down. i suppose this was my first "pwning," too bad its against a fellow chevy.

if u get a good duster then theres no worries on scratching it i got a caliorfain car duster can't spell. anyways, umm it works good its just to take the little dusted now the caked on dust/mud, so it works just don't be dumb about it. i got my new 3 in cowl hood on and paint i need to get some pics of it on here.

A malibu with GTR badges?
That wasnt a chevy, we'll just say it was a ford...
That's more Fords style.

Uh, waxing/polishing your car all the time is what kills the paint... as long as you wash it right i dont believe theres a problem

well my $1500 dream car wasnt all it was cracked up to be. we took it to our mechanic, who is a friend of the family, he was lookig it over for inspection and then it all ended. Apparently, my radiator had a leak, the previous owner put some sort of liquid into it to help stop the leak. The engine also appeared to be leaking oil, so he put the same stuff in the engine. well as you can guess thats not good. The mechanic, and my dad even saw it when he went there today, looked under the radiator cap and instead of a nice smooth liquid, it was a brown gunk. Who knows what kind of damage it did to the car. On top of that, it needs new brakes front and rear, and a new pinion. My dad and my mechanic say its not even worth keeping and fixing up, specially since i dont have the money to do so. Im pretty damn pissed.

Wow that really sucks, start a support the Camaro fund so you can get that fixed....if fixable that is

[Sp3c1al ReG]

well after lots and lots of talking over. It might not be as bad as it seems. The engine runs fine, we know that. Its just this duratec (sp?) radiator fixer thing was leaking from the engine and my mechanic figured the engine isnt gonna last. Now i think, if its made to be put in a part of a car that goes through the engine, what damage can it do? so we are looking further into it and im thinking ill be driving it by next week. pray for me lol
