1) It is Chinese, imported by an impex company in Mumbai.

2) Strands density is better than Jopasu but same as Rogers

3) overall build quality is a notch above Rogers and 2 notches above Jopasu

4) cleaning is same.

5) not worth a hefty premium over either, but definitely worth a buy at a discount or at par prices.

My Jopasu duster died after 6 years of dusting. It actually simply got torn at the place where it gets attached to the handle. I finally threw it away and got a new one at the same price that I paid 6 years ago.

I never washed it etc ever and used it for the last 2-3 years to to clean the TPH car cover and used a micro-fibre cloth to clean the car. I did use it to lift the dust from the car's roof.

What a pleasant coincidence! I just ordered it on Amazon for 700 rupees and 5 minutes later, I stumble upon this post :) . I needed a good duster for my brand new Renault Kiger (Stealth black). I hope this duster lives up to its expectations and does not disappoint me.

Another coincidence. I was searching for this for my brand new Nissan Magnite - black (red edition). :)

Ordered the jopasu duster from Amazon a month back after reading this thread.

Earlier dusting takes 10-15 min using microfibre cloth while the car idles so that the engine warms up.

Now it hardly takes 2-3 mins and it’s a breeze to dust the entire car and the only sore point is the engine warming period is reduced. Overall it’s definitely a good product to have.

Off topic but 2-3 mins is more than enough for the engine to warm up.

Actually the last 2-3 mins will be for cooling the cabin. Which is what I’m missing the most to be honest:coldsweat

Please don't idle your car for 10 minutes. It is not beneficial in any way.
Moreover, the exhaust fumes are harmful to you and anyone else around.
Thus, Jopasu is going to benefit you much more than dust removal :)

I maybe wrong but I do believe idling the car for few minutes has its benefits even though the car manuals suggest otherwise.

Cheers:)

Hello

I came across this duster (official accessory) from Maruti Suzuki on Boodmo and MGP site for Rs. 520. Has anyone used it?

Anyone used or using the Juggernaut series duster from Jopasu? Is it better than the regular one? My current Jopasu duster is one year old and planning to order a new one and came across this Juggernaut series from them in Amazon.

I didn't compare sizes. Is it any bigger? According to a response in the comments, they have made the thing lighter overall and easier to handle.

If you are happy with your existing duster, maybe no need to spend more. Or... Give the Juggernaut a try and report back for the rest of us! :D

By the way, I notice that Jopasu seems to have expanded to a wider range of car-care products now.

I went with normal one after reading a review in Amazon and a next day delivery available for normal duster. As per the review, it seems the the strands are same but size is a tad small. Don't know why they named it Juggernaut though.

Ignoring the bag colour, only difference seems to be a rubber sleeve over the plastic handle perhaps to prevent accidental scratch. With a price difference of just 30 INR, I think it is fair rl:

Came here to say this. The strands are weak and gets pulled from badges on the car more than few times. And this was used hardly 5-7 times. Quality is definitely not up to what it used to be earlier. Was planning to discard the old one with rejuvenating it many times, but will stick to it.
