So my lease was up on the AWD Infiniti Q70S that I loved. When I went to lease the next (I have had 5 previously) the pricing got nutty. Something about the car being in its last year of production and therefore the residual value plummeted and my payment skyrocketed. My payment would have increased about 250 a month ! I checked with several dealers and the all want to sell me one bc the leases programs stink. I lease because at the end of 3 years, its a very used (up) car LOL.
I even got $ from Infiniti for loyalty but for the first time in a long time I was shopping outside of an Infiniti dealer for myself.
Ended up getting a BMW.
The Good:
Great deal on a great car. Nicest DD I have ever had for less than an Infiniti !
(I had to order bc of my specs.)
The bad:
There are more screens, LCD readouts. clear coated wood and shiny piano black trim in the car than I have ever seen.
Keeping it fingerprint free, clean and dust free was driving me nuts.
I vowed not to touch it until I could figure out how to do it without swirling the wood or trim or scratching the screens and gages.
And so the dust collected, and collected. I did blow it out with the compressor but much of that redeposited elsewhere inside.
So I learned all the voice commands and I rarely have to touch the screen. Check Problem solved
Screen still gets dusty over time
HUD screen on top of dash gets dusty because of gravity
Black trim get dusty and fingerprinted if you miss the button you are aiming for
Wood trim is dark enough to show everything dust and finger prints.
Gauge cluster gets dusty
So I have the car a few weeks and I have not cleaned or wiped the interior since I got it for fear of scratching. I have been reading the internet and came up with a good solution.
Credit goes to BIMMER POST forums for this idea that worked like a charm.
THE SOLUTION FOR DUST EVERYWHWRE IS THE .............................Swiffer !
So the Swiffer removed the dust from the Gages, screens, HUD glass, dash, wood and piano black trim. Then I use an ultra plush, long pile MF moistened with IGL DASH or ONR and follow with a dry long fiber MF towel and I am getting clean perfection of the surfaces without the swirls.
So simple, and I already had it and it works amazingly well.
