Same as above...wet down the Absorber, run it over the dash and it should work. Plus, the Absorber is washable, so if any dirt is on it, throw it in the wash...

Tarik,
You are going to get dust with protectants. The dust in the car sticks to the protectants....that is whyyou notice it right away. I wouldnt use a chamois or an absorber because you are going to use that on the paint and it will smear the paint and glass with the protectant that is left on the chamois or the absorber. If you want something that works, buy a micro fiber towel and use it only for the one purpose of wiping the dash dawn. It will not remove the protectant but it will remove the dust.

they are dusting cloths that go on a mop. but you can use just the cloths as a hand dusting cloth. they are in the household cleaner aisle in most stores.

you're always gonna get dust... so just wipe down you dash once in a while, dust is everywhere and everything.
