Best vacuum for cars and trucks

[Bob Foster]

What works the best. Most of the shop vacs seem to have too short andr stiff a hose and also the attachments aren't very good.

What have any of you folks found that works well for vacuuming cars and trucks out?

Good morning Bob - swap out the vac hose from the shop vac. I use a more flexible variety that I picked up from a vacuum store with a mini turbo brush. Another thing that works well is to use an air hose with the blaster thingy attachment from a compressor and hurricane the skak and dust from the carpet and upholstery. Wear a dust mask.

I use my Pro Team back pack.

My shop vac hose is pretty flexible...more so than lt wt flexible TM hose.
The length could be 5ft longer

tools for on the end of the hose;
crevice tool, bear paw/claw looking thingie and the 2.5" wide flat attachment that came with my Shopvacs

BTW, I don't buy ShopVac brand anymore.
The bigger Ridgid's are better and quieter.
I'm generally not a fan of Ridgid (Home Depot) tools, i think they're junk for the price, but i like their shop vacs and have 4 of them.
2 big 'uns, one medium and a self contained one about the size of a tool box. (but still has a big vac motor) 4HP, maybe even 5hp I think

Side note; the hose on the self contained one is super flexible.
similar to those used on uprights vacs, only larger 1.75" diameter

..L.T.A.
