I always keep a plush microfiber towel in my secret compartment. That way I can wipe off the dash, clean the glass, or quickly wipe up a spill or rain water. Plus, I can wash it and re-use it if it gets dirty.

Personally, I find our society's trend towards disposable products quite disconcerting. Pampers, all these wipe products, swiffers, etc. generate a lot of garbage. I'm no tree hugger though. For me, it's about the money. It's can be cheaper to use a re-usable resource like a towel compared to the expense of a "wipe."

I use Sonus Cockpit Detailer between my 303 treatments.

Dust is a fact of life. Using the most non-greasy protectant helps. I have found DP Interior Surface Protectant to leave the driest finish and therefore attract the least dust.
I have been searching for years..or at least it feels like that, for an interior protectant that left my dash matte. After trying DP, I agree that it minimizes dust adhesion. I love it, leaves the car smelling like an eastern european brothel for a day or two (bananas anyone?) but it works great.

Swiffer all the way. I even buy the offbrand which costs considerably less and it works just as well.

For dust removal I actually prefer using a microfiber towel over the California duster. The static nature of a good microfiber picks up the dust and keeps it on very well.

I really like the DP Interior Surface Protectant. It's not 100% the look I would like, but it's the closest I've ever come to it by a long shot.

Actually, one very good way to get dust (and other things) out of the cockpit is to go to Home Depot and tell them you want to buy a shop vac that will suck the chrome off a trailer hitch -- and then buy it. Keep it in the garage by your car. Getting dust our of your car will then be a 30 second job.

I'm all about the swiffer sheet handy somewhere near the driver's seat. I quickly wipe at a stoplight. All clean!
