I tried out this claybar to see whether it would clear up the microsized particles that had collected on my black painted surface (which bugged the heck out of me last year). Last year I went through the big clean...

    Who makes the best or a good hand held vacum

    I am looking for a portable vac to use for my car's interior. I'd prefer either a rechargable or a cord for the cigarette lighter. A lot of places sell cordless and portable vacs, but I want to know the good ones to get. Thanks.
