Default Is keeping the interior clean impossible?

I love my car, I obsess over it, basically I'm just like everyone else who would be on this forum. I try to clean my car as much as possible, but I daily it and keep it in a driveway. No garage. Anyway, after I clean my interior and go for a drive (top down) it's dirty again. Dust, pollen, fine coating of something is everywhere. Maybe not in one day, but it has happened.

Is it realistic to think I can keep my interior clean all the time since most of the time I have the top down? Is there anything I can buy that could maybe lessen the amount of dirt/dust that accumulates in the interior? It's making me crazy because I feel like I'm not doing the car justice when I sit in it every day, and most days it is dirty.

I still enjoy the hell out of the ride, but we all know we enjoy it more when our car is lookin as good as we feel. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks, guys.

Yup, I hear you, having the top down is going to let all sorts of dirt in.

What you could do is keep some Vinylex and a clean rag in the trunk so you can give it a quick wipedown if it starts to bother you. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to wipe down the dash/doors/center console.

S2000 interior = pain in my a$$! pollen is the worst offender, I feel like the red interior wouldn't show it as bad as the black

Yea, man. I wish my interior was more colorful so it wasn't as apparent.

I'll give that a shot. Does that stuff seems to keep dirt off a bit more too or just remove it?

It's good at removing it and once you have a nice "shine" on there it should be easier to wipe off more dirt in the future. Wish it actually repelled the dirt

Nope. Try to enjoy it without obsessing over it. Keep some microfiber in the car and dust as needed. As stated above, it doesn't take long to dust the interior if you'r really bothered by it. The season makes a difference as well. It helps when the air isn't filled with pollen.
