Default keeping static dust away in interior

What products can be used or are good for helping to limit dust particles in the interior. I keep a microfiber dust cloth in the car & I find myself dusting of the dash while sitting at lights, its making me nuts.
Any tips?

I keep a small auto swiffer in the glove box. A quick pass over the dash and MFG gets rid of all the dust.

Second that. Use a Swiffer. Avoid the greasy kid stuff.

Yup, that's it, the Swifter. The dash is a dust magnet.

How did you get a California Dash Duster (CDD) in CT? I'll have to look for one; the dust drives me crazy too. I thought it was just a dry climate thing.

303 Aerospace protectant has some sort of anti-static thing in it that has greatly reduced the dust on my dash!
Get the sample pack... it's a great value.

X2!! I thought I was the only one that carried one in the car as well. I have a fullsize one in the garage and a mini one for the car. I bring my car to a hand wash place where guys wash it by hand on a conveyer. *BEFORE* bringing it to the car wash I give the interior the once over with my duster so the car wash folks don't grind the dust into the plastic and scratch it. My interior is more or less spotless by the time they get it (except for the floors).
