Default Detailing vacuum cleaners?

Who makes those real small vacuums that look kinda like a toothbrush? they're made to get in real tight areas and pick up dust. if anybody has seen the movie gattaca, they use them in that movie a lot.

you can find them online via an electronics tool place, usually .. they advertise them for computer keyboards, etc.

Maybe. I was reviewing pics stored in my head when you mentioned Gattaca.

To keep this car appearance related: I like clean cars.

The problem with those small vacuums is that they don't have a lot of force to pick up debris. Your wasting your money if your using them to detail cars. I use them all of the time inside computers. They are good enough to pick up dust.. but anything bigger like a dust bunny or a grain of salt from some tech's hand after eating fast food escapes the vortex of the micro vacuum. What are you looking to use it for exactly?

They sell an attatchment kit that will work with a regular/shop sized vacuum. It has small attatchments to get in the hard to reach areas. I have a small shop vac and this kit and it works for everything I need. Mine is from Lowes, but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere.
