Hey Beau,
You might want to check out the Oreck line of small vac`s. I know my wife loves her Oreck upright vac. Just a thought. The link is:

Hands down the best car vac I`ve ever used. My wife loves it for house hold duties as well. Spendy but well worth it.
I have a Ridgid, 6 HP shopvac,I just added a long extension cord, and most importantly a second hose so I can move aroud the car.
Works great
Holly and I got the Vac-N-Blo a week ago. It`s the best car vac I`ve ever had, and much easier to use than my shop vac. The tools are excellent, and the filter is very easy to clean. It`s light and easy to carry around, too. Noise is my only complaint. I wish it were about 3db quieter, then it would be perfect. I`d give it a 9.0 on a scale of 10.
I am wondering what you all do to clean the headliners in your vehicles?
I have a 1990 MB 560 that has a cloth type headliner with no spots just accumulated soiling after almost 20 years of use. I want to clean it up but am a bit nervous to just start spraying cleaners on it and hoping for the best.
I use "LA`s" Awesome. Poor a little in a bucket and add water. Get a dedicated mit(I prefer the old cotton ones, they have more bite) Wring the mit out for the most part and geta scrubin. Come back with a dry cotton towel to dry
You don`t want to totally saturate the material or scrub excessivally hard as you may loosen the glue. I`ve done this hundreds of times, and never any ill effects
Try a brush first. You`ll be surprised how much stuff will come out with just a brush alone.
Use a brush most people use for leather cleaning
Then, follow up with a vacuum
After that, you can assess the situation and see if you`d need to use a diffeferent method like wet cleaning...
You to huh.....:drool5:
My wife has been using this stuff for 10 years for laundry. When she 1st started using awesome I remember her telling me > You should try this stuff" ..... However, me being me I wasn`t listening > :banghead:
A couple of years pass, 1 day I get a GOD awfull suburban to clean. I mean this thing was discusting. She came out to help me on the interior I was bichin and moaning so much > :cursing:
She went on cleaning the leather and carpets.........I could not beleive the results, and neither could the customer. The lady tipped me $100 > :clap:
From that day forward awesome became my "go to" product for "ALL" Interior cleaning >
I also use to use Folex....While I admit its a decent product, it doesn`t hold a candle to Awesome. Plus w/folex you have that left over residue(powder) and it also makes the carpets stiff > Boo Hoo
The great thing is you can get it at Dollar General, Dollar Tree,Family Dollar....And yep, it only cost $1 > :clap:
***DON`T USE THIS PRODUCT FULL-STRENGHT ON LEATHER....DON`T ASK >
I`ve learned some pretty good info by this thread...
1. Start by brushing, follow up with vacuum
2. Folex misted on a clean towel
3. "LA" Totally Awesome
I`ve never heard of LA Totally Awesome, but I did a Google search and found a picture of the bottle!
