dust removal
Ah remember the day when you picked it up from the dealer and the inside had no dust in it.
I WANT THOSE DAYS BACK.... other than shedding all my skin (may make more of a mess) how can I get close to that look again. I have considered wrapping myself and the TT in a big bubble but the traction would probably stink. Ok serious folks, being a tad on the **** side and comments on soaking up the dust and prolonging its comeback.
thanks

Go to the grocery store and pick up some Pledge Grab It's.
They are disposable dusting clothes that attract dust. They will leave your interior virtually dust free, but they do not leave a coating or anything behind, so the dust will return. I just keep a pack in my passenger side door, and give the interior a quick wipe once or twice a week.

Microfiber Towels and Oil-Free Products
Just wipe the interior and that will take care of picking up the dust. Use something like 303 Aerospace Protectant on your dash and other interior parts that get direct sun. It has (probably) the best UV protection and it's not oily. I know properautocare.com has it. Don't know if any local chains carry 303. Anyone know?<ul><li><a href="http://store.yahoo.com/classic-motoring/303aerprot.html">303</a></li></ul>

Dash duster and a micro fiber towel. Also, use the following foam tipped applicators for the air
vents and other tight places. I use micro fiber to wipe down the seats, door pannels, consol, etc. Get's most of the dust off weekly. I do the vents once a month or so with the foam swabs.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/og_foam_swab_10293.html">One Grand Foam Tipped Swabs</a></li></ul>

Griot's has a pretty good deal on the foam swabs...
200 for about $20. They've got a wooden handle that is prone to snapping if you hold it by the end but otherwise they're pretty good.<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1005&SKU=1570 0">http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1005&SKU=1570 0</a</li></ul>

Second that recommendation.
I keep a "Grab-It" in the center console, so even when I'm just stopped at a light I occasionally find myself pulling it out to give the dash a quick wipe-down; they work that easily, that fast. They're dust magnets and they leave absolutely nothing behind. Really great for an onyx interior.

Thanks. That's WAY less than the One Grands, although I received my first batch free as ...
part of one of the free giveaways Car Care Specialties provides when placing large orders. Theirs are $9 for 12, or $0.75 each. The Griots work out to be $0.10 each. Big difference!!
