Might save someone some clicking but after doing some research and asking about, this seems the best car vac available for the money. Seems to do everything also, vacuums, blows Laughing (for knocking water out of hard to dry areas) wet and dry.

Will be picking mine up later today as due a new one.

Looks good.

How long did it take?

I'm using Bilt Hamber Hydra Wax at the moment, done my brothers black Transit sport van with it and it came up a treat. Lucky if it gets washed once a year. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200
