That is the official ebay shop of Jopasu car care products. So no doubt it is genuine. However if you are not too comfortable buying from ebay, you could pick it from a local reliance autozone at 480, or from snapdeal.com at 499 - http://www.snapdeal.com/product/jopa...20060?pos=0;14

It is genuine. As far as I remember, this seller is Jopasu iteself. So you can safely buy it. I got mine from them almost a year back, well packed and delivered fast. I got a new duster lastweek from Reliance Autozone for 475/-, but I'm still using the old duster.

Guys, is there a "safe" way of washing Jopasu duster. People who have tried washing as per instructions given on the cover have found that to be counter productive.

So, is there a tried and tested way of cleaning it or one has to consider this a "use & throw" item?

I spoke to Jopasu about the issue and was pleasantly surprised at the positive response. They have agreed to look into the matter and see what can be done.

For now I am satisfied

Got the duster just now Looks good.
Another thing, where is the best place to keep it when not in use?
Mostly, my car runs in weekends only.

I washed it with cold water after 7 months of heavy duty usage and dried it in shade for 2-3 days. When I tried it after that, the duster was not picking up quite less dust as compared to earlier. Packed it in its plastic cover and ordered a new one on ebay. Meanwhile after 1 week of storage tried the older one as the new one had not arrived.

Surprisingly it had recovered nearly 80% of its pre-wash power (the car is black in colour so even small layer of dust as well as swirl marks are visible). Also the car is waxed with Collinite, which eases the dust removal process tremendously. Am not sure if it was the result of 10 days of drying up & that too in their cover. I always keep it in the cover and store it in house.

The new duster will remain packed it seems for sometime now!

This sounds surprising! I too use it on my black WagonR often and very skeptical to wash it fearing it could loose its capability though it had picked up a lot of dust during my 6 months usage.

I have had somewhat similar experience. After washing Jopasu duster, it wasn't picking up dust that much. In meanwhile, I had waxed my car & tried duster again and it was back to earlier ways of picking up dust well.

I guess it's waxing on car that has helped Jopasu duster to improve its effectiveness.

Had ordered for a mini duster through Jopasu's ebay site yesterday afternoon.
http://jopasu.com/index.php/product?...product_id=214
The duster reached me a few moments ago. The strands look exactly like those in the regular duster. I feel the mini duster would be an ideal tool for dusting the interiors of the car if it retains the characteristics of the regular size duster! Will test it today evening.

I have been using the duster since 1 week. But i see tiny round spots (seem oily) on my car after dusting it. Further more, the dust settles on these spots and makes it worse, looks like i had been driving in the rain.
I just wipe the dust off with the duster in a linear motion. Could anybody tell me what might be wrong? I can post a picture of these spots as well.

Here is my review:

I got the first one and in about a months usage it stopped picking up dust. I soaked it in RIN for about half an hour and kind of strangled it clean. Well its dust picking power greatly reduced. Although I wouldnt say that it became useless. Gave it to the car cleaner guy.

Ordered the next one. And again in about a month's usage it became dirty (Gurgaon is really dusty). But this time I soaked it in EZEE. Did not strangle it or anything. After the soak washed it with water and very lightly squeezed the water and left it to dry. The secret is to completely let the duster try. After that it worked well. I have washed mine thrice now. It works well. Although I feel now it does not last more than 20 days between washes.

And yes if your car is polished, this duster works even better.

I store it in its cover in the car's boot.

Regards
Rachit

Mine has been for around 3-4 months and no matter how dirty it is but still it pick up dust like first day. I use it on daily basis.

I just love this awesome product, highly recommended.

You are spot on friend . I share exactly the same observation. My one cent: RIN / Strong detergent is total NO NO. Just soak it in dilute Ezee solution, to totally immerse it, in a large bucket or tub for no more than 5-6 minutes. This is enough to make the water completely black with extracted grime and dust. Remove it and rinse it three-four times under running water till no more soap suds are visible and just drip dry in SHADE. It took a full day even in NCR summer.
