Car Vacuum

I'm looking for a good vacuum to clean the interior of my cars. Don't want to get one of those big shop-vacs as garage space is at a premium. I need something small, but with enough power to get up all the little debris that seems to find its way into the hard to reach places. Anybody got a good idea?

Thanks,

J. Tucker

A lot of detail shops swear by this: Vac 'n Blow

YOWSERS that's an expensive vac!

I use a little shop vac that I got from WalMart. Works fine... didn't have all the little hose attachments, but the ones from my upright vac work on it.

Cost about $30, IIRC.

I picked up the new Dyson Rechargeable. It's really something, but it's not cheap...

^ yeah that Dyson Root 6 has caught my eye. Its rechargable so you can use it in the house and in the car. Saw them for about $150 at Target, definitely cheaper online. I'd hate to spend that or more for something only to be used in the car.
