Dust dust everywhere...
I just picked up a new 230xi with black interior trim and I swear I see more dust in this car than my '15 430xi. It's like it manifests from no where!
What do you guys do to combat dust? I used to use the little California brush in my old car but it seems to make the problem worse in this new one, probably because it's all black plastic trim instead of the wood-esque trim I had before. It gets annoying AF 5 minutes after using a MF and interior spray that it's gone and then comes back. Granted I drive with my windows down but still just curious if there's some anti static magic spray out there. On another note, it looks like my instrument cluster has some scratches on it, probably due to the people prepping the car with dirty clothes. Would a plastic polish work on cleaning them out? Thanks! |

After you're done go over the interior with a low gloss cleaner like Cockpit Premium. Your interior will look mint. I blow my interior out once a week with a full detail every couple of weeks.

Hopeless if you drive w/ windows down. I've started keeping a microfiber in that little side bin, and use it when I'm stuck sitting and noticing the dust (got the idea from another poster, but DK who after all this time). It also keeps the other little things in that bin from rattling and driving me crazy.

I've already mildly scratched this piano black trim and I've had the car for a week! They say not to use a MF dry as it will just push the dust around. Believe it or not the Swiffer with a very gentle touch (almost not touching) works way better than the interior california duster. I don't *think* it's leaving any residue or scratching and it seems to also help with anti static properties and the dust doesn't come back as fast.
Ultimately I think I'm going to wrap both pieces in carbon fiber not because I like carbon fiber but because I don't want to scratch the damn trim every time I get in the car lol. |
