    I did a search in this section under vacuum cleaner and nothing came up. I have a Shark my wife purchased. But I was looking for something smaller and portable. Also, something to get the sand a hair out that stuck deep in the carpet and seats.

    BTW: I also have a RIDGID 16 Gallon 6.5 Peak Horsepower NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum.

    Do any vacs come with a rotation brush for the deep down dirt?

    Recommendations?

    For deep dirt / sand I have used a palm sander to vibrate the sand up to top then vacuum it up. As for vacuum I just use a ridgid wet dry vac.

    I have a small Dewalt handheld. No brush but works well enough on loose debris.

    Also have a small auto detailing vacuum that came with various nozzles and brush tips. Was some cheap amazn Chinese product. Has tiny canister but does well getting into tight corners and crevices using the different tips it came with. Charges on a usb cord same as a tablet or phone.

    I also have a wall mounted vacuum, the wife uses it to clean out the dryer lint screen..:rolleyes:
    I use an old pet brush from a vacuum trashed long ago.

    But honestly, to remove pet hair the compressor does the best job of blowing it out.

    I'm thinking about buying one of these.
    If you have a decent-sized compressor, it might be worth looking into.

    I hadnt thought about compressed air to clean interior.
    Whoever owned my truck before had some kind of a furry beast. Lol. Dealer cleaned easily visible areas but once i started mods discovered there is fur all up behind dash and behind glovebox and anywhere else the wind might blow it. Combination of blower in one hand and vacuum in other might be the trick.
