Sounds like you're fine, then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Although, honestly, I would recommend against dusting the car every morning. Even with a microfiber cloth. Dry microfiber does cause the tiniest of swirls, and after several years they can build up into something that's visibile. The less contact you have with the paint, the better - another reason why sealants are FTW!

If you must dust, at least use some external quick detailer on your cloth to reduce friction. Although if you're willing to wax your car every month, it sounds like you wouldn't mind polishing lightly polishing it every other year, either!

Yea i know about the swirls. I used to use a california duster and i started getting those swirls. Now i get these armorall super fine microfiber dust and polishing cloths. They last FOREVER with washing and dust PERFECTLY. I love them and the quick wipedown is usually very light anyway. Just to keep any major contaminates from setting, pollen etc. 10 minute rubdown before heading off to work keeps it looking new. And because I wax fairly frequently, i don't think its harming the paint. (its not visibly anyway)

See, the new Italian chips detect variations in atmospheric pressure and would've warned you, as well as adding an extra 50 hp.
