For car detailing, you want a cordless vac with strong suction, narrow crevice tools, and a motorised mini brush to bully pet hair out of floormats.
Top picks: Dyson V15 Detect (huge suction, excellent mini turbo), Shark WandVac (light and grab-and-go), and the tradie-proof Makita 18V LXT or Ryobi ONE+ hand vacs if you’ve already got the batteries.
Look for >100 air watts, a HEPA filter, 30–60 min runtime with a swappable battery, and a flexible hose + crevice tool; the rest is marketing confetti.
Emptying should be one-handed and hygienic, because nothing says “pro detailer” like wearing yesterday’s crumbs.
If you’re on a budget, a compact handheld and a stiff brush can beat a flash stick vac in tight footwells; it’s technique more than theatrics.
