I live 25 miles outside town, .6 of a mile off the paved road, all gravel.....dust is a fact of life for me. Fire up the old compressor and hit it with the air hose

The question was "did you notice a lot of dust in your Jeep from the factory?" I think the op knows dust and dirt will happen once he uses it, just not supposed to be that way when you pick it up new. EDIT>see post #9 for clarification.

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with ours. But since I do have some odd skin allergies, I guess I'll try to vac the seats once just for the heck of it. It's a little late for me to check for dust. We've had ours now for ten months and 23k miles. Washed three times and vacuumed carpet twice

I'm just glad that NEW CAR SMELL is almost gone

The only time I see any dust is when I drive off-road. Granted, I do clean her every weekend.

This past weekend I decided to wash the interion and to my suprise the dirt that came out of a relatively new vehicle was quite a suprise . Talk about allergies. Just wondering if any one else noticesd this ?
I did not notice this. I have no carpets and I have water resistant seat coversme

I'd be willing to bet that doing this would ruin the yes essentials coating...just fyi.

i paid extra for a seat scotch guarding (as well as a paint protection) but it doesn't help with dust. I just vacuum and it seems to fix it.
