Fine desert dust

[whtrapta]

stop being ****. dont worry, get the truck dirty, clean it later when your not busy having a blast tearing it up in the dirt!



I use a lot of compressed air, vacuums, and leather conditioner.

Yeah, well I have been getting it dirty. The outside stuff is fine, the inside stuff feels more like contamination. Sucks to turn on the A/C and get blasted with musty dirt smell. And yeah, I had a blast out in the desert for four days. Now I'm at the "clean it later" part, thus this thread. New owner symdrome hasn't quite warn off yet either.

Haha i get that. Im OCD about my interior. The seats have to be in the same position as each other, exact same. The vents all have to open the same direction and amount. a/c temp can only be on certain numbers. I got it all.
My interior, except when off roading is normally spotless. compressed air over 100psi gets it all out of the cracks and buttons pretty well. I pulled trim pieces and cleaned under them. The plastic at the edge of the carpet by the doors gets pulled and cleaned under too.

I use the vacuum bristle attachment (its kinda like horse hair maybe? and round).
I use a detail brush too to knock the dust loose in nooks and cranny with the vacuum.

I then wipe the inside off with micro fiber and vinyl cleaner or whatever that stuff is that is not oily. Love it. Use it on everything but carpet and windows.

I always clean out the car, roll down the windows, and go about 80+ down the freeway and squint to keep the dust out of my eyes. Thats a good pre-cleaning trick But it might just knock the dirt in strange hard to reach places?

Takes me about 2 hours to clean the inside and about another 2 hours to wash and wax the outside.

I also use a damp towel to clean the door jams.

Has anyone figured out the best way to get the haze crap off the windows? I do such a bad job on the windows using spray can glass cleaner (Cheap stuff) and a microfiber rag or two.

 

[whtrapta]

for haze a dry new microfiber seems to work best.

I leave the dust in my truck like a badge of honor.

It's really dirty.

I only clean it to try and keep the new car smell and to prevent it from acting like sand paper on whatever it rubs against.

Is it this dirty?

A fine dust layer is an effective barrier against the little gremlins that plague street queens

Sprayway is the best. Might have to look around for it as not every place carries it. Windex Foam is second best.
