In cars, dust creeps back onto the dashboard even after a careful wipe-down. In an interview with SPEEDME.RU, expert Dmitry Novikov pointed to static electricity as the chief culprit. It builds up during cleaning—especially with microfiber cloths—and the charged surface behaves like a magnet, pulling airborne particles back and dulling the dash in short order. Anyone who has seen a spotless fascia haze over within minutes will recognize the pattern.

The workaround, he noted, is to use antistatic sprays or wipes that leave a protective layer. Along with discouraging dust from settling, these formulations help shield dashboard materials from drying out and cracking in the sun. In day-to-day use, a light antistatic treatment after cleaning tends to tame the static cling and keeps surfaces looking fresher longer.

The state of the cabin filter also plays a key role: over time it clogs with dust, letting more contaminants into the interior. It should be checked and replaced every 20–25 thousand kilometers, and more frequently if the car often runs on dusty roads.

Follow these simple steps and the cabin stays cleaner while the trim lasts longer—especially in modern cars, where material quality directly shapes comfort and the look of the interior. The payoff is a fresher-feeling cabin that holds its finish instead of constantly fighting a film of dust.
