I've noticed that I get a ton of dust on the dash. Much quicker than other cars i've owned. Could be material of dash, the fact that it is super flat, or where the cabin filter is located. I've got a feeling its probably a combination of those things?

Anyone else noticed that their dash gets dusty super quickly?
Yes, I do.

On a parallel note, given we are talking about the window... I have never had a car that leaves a mark where the right blade stops - it is right in the middle of the driver's view. I get a near-horizontal line, especially if they kick on automatically. If I do two cycles of the washer fluid, it goes away, but as soon as start to get any dirt or dust buildup, it re-appears. Perhaps it isn't the blades, but is instead the fluid?

Ok, enough is enough now. I just read through five plus days of posts on windshield washer fluid (and a dusty dash) and not one snarky /rude comment from someone in the forum... not one!

Seems everyone is getting plenty of rest these days, eating their greens and not imbibing too much. sheesh.

Seriously, it is nice to read a posting for a change (albeit a softball topic) with no one yelling at a fellow poster. Progress!

So here is the deal:
  • $18/Gallon, 4 gallons/case = $72/case
  • 36/pallet = $2592/pallet
  • Whoever orders it would need a tax exemption certificate. Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?
  • Would need to be shipped somewhere that can properly receive a pallet (ie not a residence). Shipping quote would depend on where


Anyone still game?

I'm guessing they don't charge OEMs these prices....

I'm pretty sure the interior cabin air intake is at the top of the dash, below this grill. Which would explain the dusty dash. Usually these are located under the passenger side dash.

I'll just carry a rag in the console and wipe it down once a week.

I know a guy that fits those parameters. I’d have to do the math and figure out shipping costs, inbound and outbound, HAZMAT rules and all that, especially if I were to list it on a website

As far as the ‘scent of fluid’ it smells like a combination of glycol and isopropyl alcohol

Well, General Chemistry seems very willing to ship a single pallet (or more for that matter) to any entity that has the cash and can check all the boxen.

What's the shipping quote to 98315? Business with dock and forklift if needed.
