I own a auto appearances business and detaiing is one of the services we offer.
Maybe there is excess dressing on the dash and that is drawing the dust.
Make sure that after you apply the dressing to your dash, wait a minute or two and then (hand) buff it with a clean terry cloth towel.
Hope that helps you out.

I use Meguiar's Gold Class vinyl protectant wipes. It collects less dust then the Armour-All wipes (IMO). I also use a California Mini-Duster.

I usually dust the dashboard first, then wipe it down with a damp microfiber towel and a small amount of leather cleaner/conditioner or saddle soap. It looks and smells great and leaves no residue. But don't use it on the clear gauge panel, or it can cloud up.
I hate the usual protectants. They look greasy and un-natural and smell like sour milk.

Dashmats
The uv rays here in Colorado are quite intense, so i opted for a nice dashmat from Checker Auto Parts. Lots of colors and usually on sale at $29.95. No more dash dusting.
The main reason I don't use anything on the dashes of my vehicles is the reflection of the shiny dash on to the inside of the windshield can make it hard to see at times. Just my 2 cents worth......Mike

Just say No to Armor All
You might also be interested to know that some people are allergic to vinylizers (basically what Armor All is). That's what creates that cloudy mess on the inside of your windows even though you don't smoke. I never buy new cars because I want one that has already outgassed most of the vinylizers. The smell makes me quite ill -- imagine, someone who actually hates the "new car smell"!
