I've had a '07 MDX for about three weeks, and think it's great. However, all the plastic parts of the dashboard - specifically the nav screen, the display that shows the audio, temp, & phone, and especially the dark plastic with the simulated wood finish attract dusk like a magnet! I've wiped these down numerous times, but it seems every time I get in the car these areas are covered in dust. It's almost as if there's a static charge attracting it. I thought dampening a cloth with water might help reduce the attraction, but it does not. It looks great when it's freshly cleaned, but the next day it's dusty again. My last vehicle was a Honda Pilot and I didn't have this issue.
I searched the forums for this issue but didn't see anything about it. I would appreciate anyone's advice on how to reduce this as I find it annoying. My passenger even commented on it the other evening, and I'm starting to feel like Pig-Pen in Peanuts!;) |

| It depends on what you're using on your dash. Previously, I used the same product that I used on my leather seats on my dash. That left it very greasy, which was a dust magnet. I stopped doing that and now only use Armoroil (can't remember the spelling) dash wipes. That solved the problem, but keep in mind, that won't keep dust away forever. |

| Don't drive with your windows down, use the wonderful AC/pollen system that comes with the vehicle! :1: I use Lexol dash/plastic cleaner and works well. But as I said if you open you windows.....you will be dusted out! |

| I have used a "California Duster" on our new 07 MDX as well as our 01 first gen MDX and my BMW 540 and love it. It is a small hand-held dust mop with wax impregnated fibers. It can leave a little waxy residue if you don't follow the directions and leave it on newspaper overnight before you first us it , but afterwords it works great. Gets all the dust and doesn't require any spraying or wiping. I use it whenever there is visible dust on the interior and it only takes about 2 minutes to do the entire interior. |

| I have one of the DAS ORIGINAL "California Duster" ! It must be reaching 10 years old and works grand! I still use LEXOL for the plastic parts which is most of the interior....:1: |

| Have you tried using rubbing a dryer sheet on these surfaces? |

| The ONLY solution I apply to the FAUX wood is ZAINO 8! NEVER rub with dry cloth or you will have spider webs soon images soon! :1: |

You can only obtain Zaino "on-line" as before www it was ALL by word of mouth. That is why it is called "Show Car Polish".....www.zainobros.com
Just call and ask for Sal Zaino. |
