    So what methods do you guys use to clean your interior? I work in dump trucking so my interior gets dirtier much faster than most people. I like keeping my truck clean but it’s difficult for the interior. Especially because there’s no water source in my parking spot. Any advice on what I can do?

    My preferred way of cleaning is drinking beer watching my grandson clean. When that is not an option, shop vac run off an inverter, and glass cleaner lots of paper towels.

    Tip: keep the floor clean. When you kick on the blower on the floor, it keeps the dust from flying off the floor and into the air.

    Go to Home Depot and buy a Short hand wheel brush for the floor. It is sturdy and gets the dirt out of crevices. A 1 inch paint brush and duster for the dash, tight spots and vents. Then clean with spray 9, finish the job with armourall

    Never understood people who use blow hose , i think all this dust you blow will be all over dash , door panel , bed etc
    I have rubber floor and i vacuum on the weekend and wash it with just water and sponge after , wipe dash with microfiber towel . Takes me 20 min

    I bought one of those vacuums Love's sells and also a little brush thing that's really good for getting junk out of tight areas the vacuum can't reach.

    Get some sort of multipurpose surface cleaner, big bundle of cloths , spray and wipe.

    Only thing I haven't figured out is getting the #### dust off my exterior sleeper curtains. The interior is leather but the exterior is this Terrible cotton material that dust and dirt stick to almost permanently..

    Clorox wipes are great for just keeping dirt off the dash and gauges
