best detailing vacuum

If you’re serious about car detailing, skip flimsy hand-vacs and get a strong wet/dry unit with great attachments. Look for high suction, a narrow crevice tool, a soft brush, blower capability, and a HEPA or fine dust filter to stop that “clean car, dusty lungs” vibe. Corded shop vacs (think Karcher WD series or Bosch AdvancedVac) punch hardest; cordless units (Makita/Milwaukee) win for tight garages and mobile jobs. A small-to-medium tank is easier to lug around the driveway, and a cloth bag plus foam sleeve keeps it all tidy. On a budget, the Ozito wet/dry from Bunnings does surprisingly decent work if you feed it good accessories. Buy once, cry once—and vacuum glitter out of the boot forever.
