If anyone can post a link to a specific "kick ass" vacuum, please do so. I want the Vac 'N Blo, but $175 is alot for a vacuum.
 
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...

Where do you get this at?

I use Folex (from Home Depot). Dillute about 5:1 with water and LIGHTLY MIST on a towel, then lightly rub.

I girlfriend of mine first told me about it.
It's dirt cheap too, but works great on upholstery, carpet, and general 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 > :redface:
 
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!
