Cleaning dust from the inside after Off-roading.

[Tdub0527]

So I went on Off-road trails this weekend and decided to enjoy the experience with the top back. I knew it'd get dirty inside but I didn't buy this vehicle to not get dirty. There is quite a bit of dust on the inside and I am about to tackle the job of cleaning it up. The most dust came from the gravel/dirt side roads I took to get to the trails. Any advice on how to tackle this job? Any products you recommend? Any insight would be appreciated. Here is a pic from the beginning of my journey before it got dirty.

A soft brush attachment on a vacuum should get a lot. The goo blobs also seem to do ok picking crap out of all the crevices.

Get you this set if you have a shop vac or the 1 1/4” vacuum hose (I believe). I got mine at the local ace hardware.

I start with the roof and doors open. Then I use an air gun all over and then vacuum with a real soft brush attachment.

The air can really help depending on the dust amount. Just not too hard/close. Use lots of air, blow it airborne and keep blowing air towards outside.

Just cleaned mine yesterday evening from having the doors off and running some dusty roads all last weekend. My process was to vacuum the floor liners, then the floors, and then gave every surface a once over with the vac brush attachment. Next it was wiping everything down, including the MGV with Armor All Air Freshening Protectant. Windexed the windows and done. Took me about an hour.

open doors
use a long nozzle air blower with rubber tip and blow it out

I wipe my surfaces down with a damp lint free cloth. Haven’t noticed any scratches as of yet, but I do plan to get a handheld Dustbuster thingy with brush attachments.

Leaf blower with all the doors open then wipe it down with any of the premoistened detailing cloths in the plastic tubs.

Swiffer duster...

I'd also add that you should use extremely light pressure when wiping dust off the gauge cluster plastic & infotainment screen. It scratches very easily. I remedied this by adding a tempered glass screen protector for the sync display.

I ran all summer with top and doors off. The trails in dry CO are dusty, so my entire interior went from black to brown. Before putting the roof and doors back on, I started with a leaf blower, hit a few spots with a wet/dry vac, then just used a microfiber towel with a bucket of water (making sure to frequently rinse the towel and swap out the water).
