Evening all,

My 'car' hoover has just about had it, been in the shed for years, wheel missing, hose taped up, makeshift dust bag.....the usual story!! Now i'm doing a few more cars for close friends and family, I thought it about time to invest in something half decent with the possibility of some upholstery cleaning.

Cue the Wickes - Wet 'n' Dry Vacuum & Blower. After doing some googling and asking about this seems to fit the bill at £39.99, decent bagless vacuum in a well known smiley face style. Can do wet or dry as well as a blower. The avid car cleaners amongst you will be aware of the 'blower' function for sorting panel gaps/mirrors before polishing.

Comes with 3 plastic extensions, a crevice tool and wet floor tool. Just measured the diameter and any 35mm accessory should fit, so looking on a well known auction site this means that karcher/bosch and miele hoover tools are perfect. Fairly rugged in construction and much better than similarly priced domestic ones.

The blower part sounds good

I still have my Henry that sucks and blows for the car that I bought years 7 years ago, cant seem to buy em anymore with the blow.. so this is a good price for what it does, maybe I should invest in a new one THANKS JIM  BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Looks good. Might have to get one at some point.

For a snip under £5 delivered, these are 35mm accessories from eBay.
