Kennyr Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I use my air compressor and blow out my cars. My wife even does hers. You open all the doors and blow the dust and everything else out the other side. You need a decent size tank on your compressor though. Then I always blow out my garage floor as well. It's called an air broom in mechanics language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED. Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 First off congrats Guru member : ). I was looking at your numbers this morning and it was like nine hundred something and was thinking how long it will take me to get that high. Is there dust on your seats or just the dash area? I always get dust on that arear of my car. The other day I just ran my finger across it and that seems to do it. Sometimes I will take a rag and go acoss th esurface.

Hit enter)of the interior. Kennys method should work. Peronally I like to go over it with some tire shine to bring it alive. I notice more dust in the Lexus than I do in my BMW's. Maybe its just Toyotas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowing too much air might cause some foam to get loose and you also might send some debris back into the blower instead out of the car. Ask some of my BMW buddies about how fun those are to replace : ) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDPLATER Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I have used all of the above mentioned suggestions before plus many more. I have now found the best way(thanks to recent technology) to remove all that pesky dust from your interior. This will also make your interior look clean without the look of being treated with a cleaning solution. Buy yourself a package of those house dust magnet sheets. They come in packs of 5 to 20 sheets. Just take 1 sheet out of the package and run it all over your interior. All the dust particules will stick to the cloth and not get redistributed elsewhere. I do my entire interior with these sheets. Simply beautiful results. Dashboard, wood trim, console, seats, vents..... Everything comes out GREAT. :D John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll still need a vac on the carpet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Thanks, all great suggestions... Dust just seems to collect on the dashboards, on the instrument panel and pretty much everywhere you can imagine..not a "lot" of dust just enough to notice..I don't smoke so all the dust is just "dust"..nothing harmful or anything.

VBdenny Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I use my small California duster for interiors. Around vents and such I use a paintbrush and have the shopvac running with the brush on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91ls400 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I've always just used one of my microfiber cloths fresh from the dryer...always has a heck of a static charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobieG Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I swear by the Swiffer Dusters. So easy and they work well! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKRC-2003 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I user a California Dash Duster and it seems to work great. Just dont use it near any fabric (like your speaker covers on the LS...the red threads will stick to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
