I'm less than impressed with the crevice tool and heads that comes with my Dyson V11. I simply can't get inbetween my seats and the B pillar. Likewise the centre console blocks it too. There's ingrained grime in the trim cloth from years ago. How do you get down those hard to reach spots... Very tempted to remove the seats altogether but that's borderline over kill.

    I can't be bothered these days. we got a hand car wash in town. friendly people own it, all ways shake your hand and nothing too much trouble. so I leave it there while I walk round town, get a coffee and come back. car all nice n clean. £10.00 outside only.  inside and out £18.00.
  • When my car requires a deep clean I just go to one of those back street hand car wash places usually cost between £10/£15 for full outside and inside clean.

    Between that I just use the £1 jet wash at ASDA.

    I use a Dyson, I managed to get a very narrow crevice tool from ebay.
    I also use a paint brush to agitate muck in gaps and get it out in the open to be hoovered.
    Mats get taken out, laid on the garage floor and hoovered like a carpet so the pile comes up nice.
    I hoover our cars minimum once a week, I will happily put up with a dirty exterior in bad weather but cannot suffer a dirty interior.
    I assume these people who pay others only do it occasionally, it would cost me a mint to do the same.
