car vaccum recommendations?
i am looking for a car vaccum. i don't have a garage and park on the street so a household vac is not convenient for me. i've only been to crappy tire but i don't know what is best.... recommendations anyone?

I'm on the lookout for one of those small shop vacs too.

Every once in a while you see them on sale at Sears, Home Depot, etc.

They definately look like they'll do the trick! Plus you won't have to fuck up your house vaccum!

I found the portable series of the Shop-Vac works really well

I agree with Noizz. I use one for all my mobile detailing along with the detailing kit. Its only about 55 inches of lift but if your car isn't a complete disaster,it'll get it done no problem. My fav vacuum is my Cobex as it has about 90 IOL, but its also over $400. Well worth it though.

It depends what you are vacuuming, for car interior and if you have a garage I rather use a home HEPA vacuum (like those cheap bagless 90 bucks Bissell, where you can rinse out everything).. the problem with shop vac is a lot of the dust get thrown back into the environment, hence back into the car. For wet gross stuff of course use shop vac.

Wait for a small shop vac to go on sale on Canadian tire. You can't go wrong with one. Plus Canadian tire has a great warranty
