Angry DUST!!

Does anyone know a good way to get lint, and or dust off the plastic covers for the gauges on the dash? Are there any products that keep dust away from the dash?

I haven't ever seen anything that repels dust. I usually use a can of air to get all of the dust off. Be sure that you don't armor-all the gauges. It will discolor the plastic and attract more dust. Hope this helps...

good question... I've been using the rag that came with my navigation unit. It doesn't scratch the plastic like other rags do. (don't buy it from Acura though, it's about $35... get an eyeglass rag if you decide to do this).

I use the cloth that is the replacements for the swifer. They attract dust pretty well, I keep it also in the door. They only thing is that you can use it a few times before it starts to wear and tear.. but a box is pretty cheap. I can dust the whole interior without harming any of the surfaces. This works particularly well on the gauges.

Use microfiber cloth. They are the same materials used to clean glasses. It works great with no lint. U can buy a set at Sam's Club or order some.
