Didn't find a seperate forum for upkeep so i'll post here. Since i've had the car which is a MY05 WRX, almost 7 weeks, on hoovering all the crap seems to get entangled in the fabric of the footwells and like.
I'm hoovering with a dyson, which has top notch suction, but still it doesn't come up to show car standard or close to how it is when you buy a used car from a dealership.
Have tried also the hoovers at the gas stations, but found it put more back in that what it sucked up.

Anyone got tips on how to get the interior spotless with a hoover or other method.

Cheers

Cheap carpet I'm afraid.. only way I know of is to pick the bits out..!

buy a proper hoover instead of that crappy dyson for starters!!!

each to there own opinion but mine is that the dyson rocks, hoovered the house with the previous hoover and then straight after with the new dyson, lots of dust and hair and crap picked up. impressive and at the same time shocking in that the old hoover left so much crap behind. the dyson could suck a golfball thru a hosepipe. just that the interior seems to weave the dirt within itself

I used a dyson with a car turbine head from the car cleaning kit.

This seems to get everything out from the pabric used in the seats including half of the beach that my kids brought back from st ives.

The seats are pretty much ook for cleaning its more the footwells and general floor area.

I could do with another 50bhp on my dyson, probably cut the time in half it takes to hoover house and car :-)

LMFAO
when was the last time you saw a car valeter useing a dyson to hoover a car???

buy a nice numatic "henry" for around £80 and use it with the supplied crevice tool and you will be fine.

i have a dyson for my home, mainly because the wheel broke and my dad never realised you could buy spares, so bought another one, i bought a wheel for a quid from ebay, TBH, even after new belts/filters and a good strip down and clean, its a pile of ****e.

Each to there own, the only reason why valeters use a numatic hoover is because it has been rugidised. and is not as fragile if dropped or bashed about in the van. It has nothing to do with the how good they are.

If they are ****e then loads of people must be wrong..

StickyMicky

no, valeters use them as they want something that works, not something that looks like it dropped off a spaceship!!!!!!!


i would not dream of having dysons for my staff to use at work PMSL

its not just valeters who go for the numatic stuff, most office cleaners, hotel cleaners? the list goes on, dysons are marketed well, that is it.

My first job was a used car valeter a long time ago now but I was taught to use a hard brush for the footwell and boot carpets brushing towards the hoover. We used to get some real states to clean and they always came up as close to new as you can get.
