Bergmann is an alternative I'm using. Does the job well.

When a (nice) layer of dust of a week accumulated on the car, I remembered to capture this.
Of course, the Jopasu made quick work of the cleaning

Is the quality of jopasu duster reducing?
Off late the duster has been leaving wax strands on my car. A dusty car with wax strands does not leave a good finish on the body and wax is a nightmare on the windshield.

Has anyone else observed this issue?

Has anyone used the Clorox duster which is similar to Jopasu but at half the price? Seems to have 4.5 star reviews based on 4k+ reviews. Anyone here has first hand experience on this duster?

Is Jopasu still the best or are there any thing better VFM out there?

If i’m not wrong, this brand “Clorox” does not have “wax-rich” strands, its just a dusting tool with micro fiber strands, unlike Jopasu which has wax in the strands and hence absorbs dust.

I have been using Jopasu for years. The one thing I don't like about them is the occasional waxy smears, especially on glass. Have been thinking of trying a wax-free simply-microfibre alternative.

I received the Jopasu duster (my 4th one) yesterday.

The size of the duster is reduced, so the coverage is lesser. On Amazon, it's Rs. 759/-.

To all Bhp-ians living around the coast, or areas with higher humidity, less drier and dustier than North India, do you feel the Jopasu Car Duster is as effective? Or have you figured out another worthy alternative to it?

I moved from Delhi NCR to a more humid area near the coast which is not as dusty. Basically there is not as much fine dust that settles on the car every day. I only use the car on the weekends and there still is some dust that settles (despite being a semi-covered basement parking, that has some sides open).

While the Jopasu was fantastic in picking up dry dust in Delhi NCR, I find that in a more humid climate, in addition to picking up dust, it also leaves behind a waxy residue/coat, which is a nightmare on the glasses, especially when there is a glare on it.

Anyone else in the same boat? Would love to hear how you deal with it, apart from regularly washing the car.
