Shop Vac or Metro Vac n Blow?

I'm looking to get a vacuum for my personal detailing. I will get either a Metro Vac n Blow or a shop vac. I would like the blower, because water keeps getting stuck in the side mirrors and causing minor spots after I drive and get the water out.

Thanks

The Metro Vac n Blow is a great tool.

Re: Shop Vac or Metro Vac n Blow?

If I where you I would get a shop vac, much cheaper. I got mine from HD a while ago for $80-$100 and it's a 2-3 hp unit. The only good thing about the metro vac is it's smaller and lighter, but if I remember corectly it's about $180.

They are $150 right now. I have seen them as low as $140. Cost isn't as big of a deal as storage and justifying purchasing them both.
