Last week I used the house vacuum cleaner to clean the inside, but it was not very efficient. Specially on the seats crevices.

what kind of vacuum do you have?

i have a dyson canister vacuum. i bought it 3 years ago, second-hand, for less than half price - it is one amazing machine. i bought the canister model because it was more portable and definitely easier for bringing out to the garage to vacuum out the car. dyson has a 'car kit' with some nice bristly and long, skinny attachments that work well for upholstery, crevices, etc.

plus, this thing SUCKS, literally! :) it puts my shop vac to shame!

I have a Dirt Devil. It even fell down once and hit the car paint. Apparently no scratches made.

I tried that as well and gave up.

This is what I put on my wishlist. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPH63K0/...I2HQXHISNMADNV

Looks like a good choice. And good price too.

Thank you to NovaPhotog! I received this from him Saturday morning and finally had some free time to mount this afternoon, I wanted the tow hook mount but I couldn't help but jump at this opportunity, cops in NYS will fine you 175 big ones for not having your front license plate mounted

I still prefer the clean no front license look, but better this than a 200$ ticket after court fee's

(Don't mind my crappy head lights, I still haven't bought the rebuild kit for my ZKW replacements :rofl)

They're fine. I installed them brand new a few months ago when I bought spacers. I never cross thread. I do it all by hand until I need to torque wrench it.
