Jopasu Car Duster - A mini review

dot · 14th February 2012, 21:21

Bought the Duster last weekend. Was very skeptical when I saw the device in person. Took a blind leap of faith plus faith in TBHP and brought it home. Must say, the experience has been pretty amazing, the way it brushes away dust.

The car was not cleaned for 4-5 days. In a matter of few minutes, the car was shining. While it obviously does not negate the need of shampoo and polish, it is a very good product for quick use. I feel that the design allows leverage which generates weight on the fibers to push against the surface.

Manufacturers, if you are reading this: Good job and Keep it up.

3 months since I sent that order on E-bay, and it's been keeping the car clean. But at the same time, from a white color, the strands finally turned into a blackish grey. Decided to give it a wash, after going through the various "washing" posts on this thread, decided to take it easy.

Steps followed :

Get a bucket filled with mildly warm water.
Dip the duster and keep it for a minute or so. Remove it, shake the strands a bit.
Do the above steps for another 3-4 times.
Leave the duster for another 5 odd minutes in the water, and take it out and put it to dry in the shade under the fan.

It took the entire day for the duster to dry, but it works almost as good as before. However the strands did not lose the greyish color, but they are definitely cleaner than before (the wash).

How can I get the 10% discount you mentioned?

I had only a quick glance at the E-bay page and have no experience in buying stuffs from E-bay. Hence the query

Once you are a member, you would get weekly coupons on your registered email address through which you can avail these discounts.

Even i did a similar "wash" with plain water. I left it in the bucket for 5 min and slowly swirled it 4-5 times. It took 2 days to dry in the shade as i didnt squeeze the water out. The strands are cleaner than before and it also works better than how it was just before the wash.

I was initially apprehensive reading some threads that it has altogether stopped working. But no complaints with the way its turned out now. It gives me more confidence to try washing with a mild detergent the next time.

Have been using this for quite some time now. Does the job in the best and quickest possible manner.

For some reason though, when used on glass, it leaves some kind of swirl marks. Dont know how to put it.. to a naked eye, it would seem normal, but the autoholics that we are, one tends to notice all the small marks!

I was wondering if dipping the duster in warm water with some detergent like Surf or maybe Ezee (mild one mostly used for woolen clothes) might give better results.

Friends,
At last I could manage to order a Jopasu car duster from their authorised representative at Kolkata. And in case anyone is interested to purchase it directly in Calcutta (without being online), he may please purchase it directly from the authorised distributor of the company and pay on delivery.

In case anyone is interested to purchase it, please send me a PM and I shall give you the contact number of the representative.

I got my Jopasu duster the very next day after I placed the order on ebay. You could ask for money back if the order is not delivered to you within specific time limit as per ebay policy. So if you do not get it then ask them for a refund.

Yea, i think this is what is going to happen most probably as the courier company tracking also shows consignment number invalid.

I have been using Jopasu car duster since couple of weeks and I have to say that it's good. I am happy with it. I have to wait and watch how long the duster lasts.

sandsun7 · 12th March 2012, 15:58

Bought Jopasu car duster last week after coming across many positive reviews about it. Picked it up from Reliance Autozone, Basavanagudi for Rs. 450/-. I must say, this is a wonderful product to have! The duster just absorbs whatever dust is there on the surface, almost as good as a flat headed vacuum cleaner! Did not observe any scratches or swirls! Kudos to the manufacturers! I have reccomended it to many of my friends

Will have to wait and see how long it retains the dust absorbing capacity.

srishiva · 12th March 2012, 16:52

Been using it for a year now on my black car. Have washed it only once. It still does the job very well. I wash my car once a week.
Think about the buckets of water it has saved !

Bought the duster through ebay. Placed the order on 13th and received it yesterday - 15th :-). Impressive.

And more impressive was the way it worked. My car was not washed for 2 days and had quite a fair amount of dust on it. Wiped clean in 4 mins flat. And the part I liked most was how well the dust lodged in wedges like the window beadings came off.

A good buy and happy with that.
