I keep a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle of cleaner in the rear passenger side door, so I can grab it quickly from the driver's seat whenever I notice the dust getting out of control or whatever. Once it gets too funky, I replace the cloth with a spare from the trunk (bought a bag of 25 on sale and that's where I keep them). I also keep a bunch of other cleaning products, like quick detailer and bug remover, in the mesh pocket in the trunk. They're jammed in pretty good but take up almost zero space that way. I am not at all OCD about cars but this is the first "nice" car I've had, and not coincidentally, the first one where I've made any effort to keep it clean.

Yes. 8x8 black microfiber. I keep it bunch on the floor in front of the driver's seat and near the AWD hump. Easy access and stowage.

i actually use this.

Amazon.com: Carrand 92049 2-in-1 Electrostatic Detail Brush: Automotive Amazon.com: Carrand 92049 2-in-1 Electrostatic Detail Brush: Automotive

no matter what towel or microfiber you use, it sometimes leaves lint, but this one doesn't at all.

Not only do I keep a microfibre dust cloth for cleaning at stop lights, but my wife gets to do her side of the dash and the passenger door.

Well, uh...what if she has really pretty fingernails that she doesn't want to mess up?



Wait a minute - if she helps me clean the car she'll want to drive it!!!

That's also what my black hand towel is for. Mopping up wet door panels when it rains.

I keep a microfiber rag, a window scraper, and a car duster all in a little bag in my trunk for spur of the moment touch ups
