Vacuum technique question??

What's the best way to get down in between the area of the center console and your front bucket seats with a vacuum?

Using a vacuum forward and backward, or a plastic bristled brush will do.

I had something dirt, saw dust etc in my trunk. My shop vac didnt get it all. The dyson was a pain and I even used some lint rollers. So what is the best method for the finer particles?

I hear ya on the PITA stuff.

Spray the carpet down with some all-purpose cleaner and SCRUB it down, then use an air-compressor to blow everything out...obviously going from one direction to the other.
