Not sure about you guys, but the dashboard on my 2010 Yaris Sedan LOVES dust. During the day, when it's really sunny, it looks terrible. I've tried using paper towels with windex, but read online that it makes it worse. Would do you guys suggest and what has worked for you? Are microfiber towels worth the money? I'm not sure if all Yaris's have the same color dash, but mine is like a light graphite grey. Thanks!

Yes, microfiber towels are worth the money. You can pick them up at Walmart, I keep one in my Yaris because I have the same issue. The microfiber towel does the job! :thumbsup:
I also keep one of those small dusting brushes in one of the glove boxes. It's handy as well!

Also, micofiber towels can be had fairly cheap fom e-bay.
I got a box of 35 (top qualty) for about $16 total and they come in handy for all sorts of car cleaning, waxing etc.
They also make a great cleaners for flat panel TVs/monitors and general computer dusting, etc.

I use the Armorall protector wipes to clean the dash. Usually lasts a few months plus protects it against UV and also I find it helps fight dust buildup. They haven't failed me yet!

The $2 blue rolls of 'shop towels' from walmart are also great for the dash. They don't dust, and don't dissolve. I use it with synthetic interior cleaner to make the dash all shiny and sparkly.
I like to keep a contact cloth in the little flip down box in the dash for quick touch ups. Dust sticks right to them and I usually get 2 or 3 cleanings out of them before I toss em. Cost about .30 each at parts stores.

dupont sontara... they are a lint free cloth we have for cleaning parts they are solvent resistant.. that and some Accent from transmate (i believe it is just silicone spray) leaves the dash with a decent gloss and repels dust for a good week or more.

I keep a tiny California Duster in the upper glove box on the passenger side. It has a nice handle and a pointed end for the tight spots. Works great for me and I'm fussy.

We use good ol' Armorall. Works just fine, lasts long enough. Our job is very dusty winter and summer (paper handling) but it works as well as anything we've tries so far.
