Cleaning dash parts

Okay, I think I know the definition of OCD, but it is a MINI, after all!! I know someone has come up with something to clean out inside the heater/ac vents. On the dark confines of the coupe', I realize you can't see all that well, but I have a cabrio, and in bright sunlight, there is dust in every little nook and cranny on the dash. What do you use to get at these places? Thanks in advance for all your help.

I agree with oldtrojan on this one. With a cabrio any missed spots stick out like a sore thumb.

Try a vaccum cleaner following the brush, after you agitate the dust the vaccum sucks it up. Home Depot has cheap natural bristle brushes in many sizes, I use the 1' size and cut the bristles to about 3/4 of an inch long, makes them good and stiff. You'll find these are very usefull for anything, I have one that I use for getting Epic out of cracks and out from around emblems and stuff nothing that I have found works better.
