How to Vacuum Your Car
Vacuuming a car interior is one of the most frustrating and challenging parts of any car detailing regimen. Start by getting the right equipment for the job.

Top Tips for Vacuuming Your Car
Once you've chosen your tools, begin with the roof liner of your car. Always vacuum from the top down for best results. The 4.0 HP motor on the Jumbo Vac N' Blo will make short work of the roof liner and all the easy-to-access spots.
From there, use the right tools for each section of your ride, moving down toward the floor. With a high-power vacuum and the MetroVac floor brush, you can clean your floor mats in place. This actually makes them more secure, so it's easier to vacuum thoroughly.
Exterior Car Detailing With MetroVac
Once your car interior is sparkling, it's time to move to the outside. These steps will help you get your car looking like new:
-
Rinse your car thoroughly with a gentle hose. This will loosen any surface grit and dirt gently without hurting your paint
-
Shampoo your car using a mild automotive shampoo. Clean a small section at a time using the two-bucket method for best results. The two-bucket method has one bucket for dipping the sponge to apply soap, and another to rinse off the sponge before reapplying. This keeps the sponge clean and protects the paint
-
Dry your car thoroughly to prevent water spots or residue. This will give your car a cleaner look
True car detailing pros know the pain of water drops and drips. Even a few stray drops can dull your finish or damage your paint by leaving behind tiny grit deposits.
The MetroVac Air Force® Master Blaster Car Dryer gets rid of this problem once and for all. A range of nozzles suitable for grills, side mirror crevices, rims, and more help concentrate the air flow from the two 4.0 peak HP, twin-fan motor, giving you enough power to dry quickly and thoroughly without the damaging effects of an industrial air compressor.
This setup is designed specifically for detailing cars and motorcycles, giving you peace of mind.
