As I set up my dream garage, I’m considering buying a dedicated vacuum cleaner for my car. I’ve got a shop vac that I use to clean up spills and clean my garage floor. But I wanted to find the best vacuum for car detailing that didn’t cost a fortune.
Garage vacuums may mean different things to different people. Some people think of heavy-duty wall-mounted vacuums. Others think of handheld vacuum for quick cleaning. Many people think of a shop vac for general use.
It all depends on what you need it for.
Let me say this right off the bat: I am NOT a detailer. I appreciate what those guys do, but I don’t have hours to clean my car each week. I like it to look nice, so I vacuum it out regularly, especially after taking my dog for a ride.
What should you look for in a car vacuum? Garage car vacuums come in several shapes, sizes, and suction strengths. When choosing a new model, the vacuum type is the most crucial aspect to consider. Some of the most common types of garage car vacuums are:
- Wall-mounted
- Handheld
- Wheeled
- Upright
There’s more to buying a garage vacuum than deciding what type to get. We’ll get into some of those factors below.
It may seem like a lot of information, but finding the ideal vacuum for your garage and car can be pretty easy once you know what you’re looking for.
