Lee;

Can you recommend a vacuum that would be helpful in getting to all those tiny crevices. I have a lot of french fries and sunflower seeds I would like to eradicate!

Mark

Any vacuum should suffice provided it has more power than a cordless "dustbuster". The trick is finding one (ShopVac) that has enough attachments to get into the nooks, grooves, crevices, etc that are the inside of our cars. Of course, raising the seat up as high as it will go, then forward, then back, will help you access those difficult areas as well. For my car(s) I've always just used a normal household upright with the wand attachments and/or a Shopvac. If you get some super-tight areas you can't reach with the regular unit/head/attachment, a standard fast food straw and some duct tape might work for a quick fix. (never tried it but if you do, let me know) Give the above a try and if it doesn't do the trick we'll take it from there.

Hope this helps...Lee

I use a section of 3/8 id poly tubing a couple feet long. Cut 1 end at appx. 45 angle and duct tape the other end into shopvac hose.

Works great for fishing around the seats.
