Dealing with dust advice

[Blu Bug]

Planning my first off road experience in my new (to me) Raptor and I was wondering, how often should I stop to dust off the truck. I have a main California Duster and a back up in case the first breaks or someone volunteers to help.

Personally never been a fan of the car dusters, they have a tendency to just move the dirt around and scratch the paint.

I also don't clean the truck while doing Raptor things. After the trip, I clean the truck. Foam cannon, wash and spot treat if need be. Unless of course you are off roading in the Starbucks parking lot. Otherwise just go out, enjoy the adventure and clean once you get home.

Don’t. if it’s dry dust, just keep the windshield / glass clear. Don’t use washer fluid unless you MUST because once it’s wet, it’s going to attract even more dust and it will be much more difficult to wipe free.

Wash the dust off the truck at the next wash.

Scenario i've been in. Drive a 1000 miles to a Raptor event. Clean widshield at gas stations. Offroad for 3-4 days. Drive back home 1000 miles. Clean windshield at gas stations. Wash truck at home at the car wash first with a pressure washer, then home to wash by hand.

I use a Ryobi Turbo Blower and a mini detailing kit.
only takes me about 40 min preparation to capture an image.
Since I take 200-412 shots every time I’m out, that means 8 hrs on the Trail I only cover about 8.56 miles or W T F ever in kilos or something that y’all use up North Time consuming but I capture some Beautiful “Clean” images

No doubt that you would do that @John M but you are a broken individual, which is what you like about you around here.

I still haven't cleaned my truck from my off road adventure last year. Rain did a pretty good job getting most of the dirt/dust off. Just made sure windshield is clear. Maybe I'll clean it after i get back from my upcoming off road trip

Blubug won’t need to worry about long off-road trips with this type of attituy
