I use armor all natural finish to keep it clean and keep one of those small California Dash Dusters under the seat. I pull out the duster a few times a week and it does the job.

Are you sure it's not ash from all the fires. Down here in the south you can smell it all day.

Im pretty sure it's just dust and pollen and the other 10000 allergens that Florida is known for. Id hate to look at the cabin filter.

Not a fan of armor all. too greasy and shiny.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. Not shiny or greasy feeling. Gives the dash a satiny finish I think. Appears to repel dust !

Go to Target (or wherever) and get yourself a large California Dash Duster.
It is awesome and you can reach the entire dash from the driver's seat. I use it several times a week and it's a must for a pristine interior.
