Probably shouldn't be wearing that little french maids outfit when your dusting.

X3. I have the bench front and it fits in the under seat storage under the middle seat. Good product and the easiest way to get the dust off fast.

After reading the comments on the California DustBuster I went and picked one up tonight. That thing works great.

The full size one is pretty big. It will still clean the dash well, but you may have a had time finding someplace to stow it. The mini fits perfectly in the pouch on the passenger side of the center console.

And I thought I was the only one using that method! It does work really well.

Anytime I use the shiney stuff on the dash it seems to attract more dust. After the air hose blow out i usually wipe down with a little soap and warm water.

Sonus Cockpit Detailer (and probably other interior sprays) claims to have anti-static properties. I also like Vinylex. Both are non-greasy and non-shiny.

For the guys that have the dustbuster do you really have to store it in the plastic container?

Thanks, I have a supercab and have a totebag back there that holds all the stuff I used to stuff behind my regular cab seat. Being able to reach is most important
