Default afraid of scratching paint!

so I just painted my EF and I am trying to take really good care of my paintjob. Now this has happened to ppl I know before, when You get your car freshly painted, it seems to attract dust after every wash like **** attracts flies. I just washed my car and waxed it and the same happened. So i want to buy one of those car dusters, either the "california duster" or some other microfiber duster, but I started thinking yesterday, will these dusters just pick up the dust but also scratch the paint as i move to other parts of the car since the duster now contains small dust particles that can potentially scratch clear coat? i would appreciate some personal testimony's and any other advice. thanks

I've had my california car duster for years and I love it. I even use the california water blade too. I use it on all my rides, different colors, you'll be fine. I use it daily on my black integra.

The duster is no problem, you should get it. I used to use it on my car when it was black. Also remember, there's a difference between actual scratches and swirl marks. Swirl marks can be buffed out and polished back up.
