    Are there any vacuums (commercial or otherwise) that have close to the suction power of the commercial car wash vacuums?



    I usually get disgusted with the shop vac or the "car-vac" with the poor suction, and just give up and use the super-vac at the local scrub and scrape (or haze and hologram). But most times I really don`t feel like being able to do everything myself at home, to just have to trudge to the local wash.



    I`d like to buy one of the economy machines by JE Adams to have in the garage, but that seems like it might be a little overkill.

    For my shop vac - I have one of these - I also have a shark vacuum (IIRC) The little black bullet that you carry on your shoulder. I also have a very antique Sears car vac. Remember when Sears first started the Versa-Pac series? One of those.



    Admittedly, I`m guilty of buying baby chicken vacuums (read: cheep, cheep-cheeeeep) - but with as much money as I`ve spent since I joined Autopia and actually learned what real car care is, I can no longer use that as an excuse.
