Most of Arizona is made of DUST...
Dust compressed into Stone, covered with Dust dampened into Clay, covered in Dust loose as Dust...

And after any weekend drive outside of the paved highways, my Ram is coated in it - outside and INSIDE.

A good carwash will handle the exterior, but even after vacuuming and wiping, there is a whole lot of Dust left in the crevices and vents. Even after using a compressor and air-hose, every time the fan or A/C is turned on for the next while - Puff goes the Dust...

Is there a Cabin Air Filter somewhere ?? Or an air box where this dust could be hiding ??

Ideas ??
(NO, I'm NOT moving to Wisconsin... )

 

interesting problem...

sounds like something id pay some ******** to fix lol... and thats not an insult!

i have a local car was... these guys are out in a bare parking lot with a garden hose... and they do such great work. i usually go every 2 weeks...

my point?

id pay professional

( m e x i c an s) is banned?

 

Huh ??

My local carwash is pretty good - in fact have several in area...

The question is Dust in Vent / A/C System - is there a Cabin Air Filter or other element to clean / replace ??

 

Also, as a warning:
Everyone might want to check their door seals, especially at lower-end of A-pillar.

Investigating a "plume" of fine dust beside the front passenger seat (scissor-jack cover), I realized that the heavy plastic door seal was folded-over at the base of the A-pillar (letting air / dust into the door frame and eventually into the cabin). This "fold-over" might have been from the factory - at least it had been there a long time as the crease was near-permanent and the plastic had perfect impressions of all the divits and weld lines. After folding it flat (and pinching fingers getting it to stay that way as door closes), there is slightly less cabin airflow and road noise - and hopefully less dust next time I "play in the dirt".

 

90mph with all 5 windows open works well if you can find a (relatively) dust free stretch of hwy.

 

Surprisingly for this day and age there is no cabin dust filter. There certainly is enough room for it.

 

There is this stuff you can buy I have seen it on TV it is like a clay bar type thing but is basically sticky and like a thick gel that you can make a ball or flattenit whatever but you just push it into cracks and stuff on you dash our on you vents and the dirt and dust sticks to it when you pull it off. I have seen it on Trucks as a product they featured. I wish I could remember the name.
