Default Auto Vaccum

Hiya People!

I need recommendations for a good auto vac for my lexus. My hair falls a lot and I hate it. I like to keep my car super clean at all times.

Best,
Maya

A shop vac works well.

Go to Costco and buy a Stanley Shopvac for about $35.00. Works great and has multiple uses.

I have one of these:

Amazon.com: Shop-Vac 9520262 5-Gallon 4.5-Peak HP Hang Up Wall Mounted Wet/Dry  Vacuum: Home Improvement Amazon.com: Shop-Vac 9520262 5-Gallon 4.5-Peak HP Hang Up Wall Mounted Wet/Dry Vacuum: Home Improvement

It's fantastic. Mounts to the wall in my garage. Just pull out the hose and vacuum both of my cars. Works well and stays out of the way.

if you don't want to lug around a shop vac, try this
Amazon.com: Metro Vacuum VM4B500 Vac 'N' Go 500-Watt Hi-Performance Hand Vac: Home Improvement Amazon.com: Metro Vacuum VM4B500 Vac 'N' Go 500-Watt Hi-Performance Hand Vac: Home Improvement

It was recommended in the detailing forum here on this site and I got it last year when I got my 300h. It's lightweight, powerful and has a few useful attachments for detailing.
