Daily washing/rinsing? My car is lucky if it gets washed once a YEAR. And WAX???? What's that? The trade in value of my car is so low that I don't want to waste the money on cosmetic details.

How in the hell does a piece of very soft fabric lightly drug over your paint scratch anything. Maybe if you pressed on it, but you're supposed to just drag it across the surface.
Hell, your buffing rag is more harsh on the paint than that thing is. Not to mention the trillions of dirt/dust particles in the air bombarding your car at 80mph when you drive down the street.
The duster is the least of your worries when it comes to scratching your paint.

I agree with Sigma that any scratching risk would be nil. I would wonder if a daily routine of rinsing the dust off would have greater potential for problems, such as rust and corrosion.

I wonder where my California Car Duster dissapeared to?
Not that I can use it. The problem here in the Pacific NW is that we gets lots of moisture, even if it isnt raining and the water fixes the dust so that the CCD can't get it off.
It came in handy when I actually lived in Southern California though.

I'm with you there!
In the summer it's great, with no rain, but once the moisture falls or there is dew, it sticks! I don't have a good wax on tho. I washed her on Monday and I'm going to attack the dust right about now. It should work still, but I've never left it this long, and there was a sprinkle an hour ago that has since dried up.
