Upholstery vac/cleaner
Wanting to give my interior a proper clean and buy a vac to do it properly. Seems to be so many products for spraying on for basic stain removal or odour neutralisers but realistically none will actually get all the muck out.
So has anyone actually bought one before, or used one to recommend?
A quick eBay search shows a Sealey one and a Numatic one for sub £200 which look fine for light & mobile use.
I am looking to buy rather than rent as I wouldn't mind doing a bit of a local service with it.

Pretty much solved this query I think.
Extensive searches on eBay and detailing world seem to favour the Karcher Puzzi 8/1C for mobile and valeting use.

Get yourself one of these, I use one daily and it'll suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

A little more messing than with a dedicated upholstery cleaner but worth it for the price.

Bargain, Going to get me one of those.
I've already got one and its decent (paid more for it) but it will be ideal for the second garage
