Portable vacuum / Screen wash

    Afternoon all,

    Living in an apartment means that cleaning the interior of the car is a pain as there's no driveway to just do the hoovering in :(

    Are those hand held vacuums any use? If so which would ye recommend? Not willing to spend hundreds and 2nd hand from the likes of adverts works too.

    Secondly, I do a lot of motorway driving generally in the evenings/night time and the front of the car and the windscreen are destroyed with those midget flies. The front can be cleaned with a good wash but the windscreen is a pain when you're just driving around and the garage screen washes don't do much. Anything ye would recommend for that too?

    Cheers!

    Got a Hoover freedom fg22 for less than €100 in last years black friday sale in DID, find it very good though a flexible hose would be better in the car.

    They have them in Tesco from time to time for €99

    Dedicated glass cleaner will help with glass, keep small bottle and microfiber in boot for when not at home. Make sure it safe in boot though.

    From a screen wash- I like the AutoGlym screenwash. I buy the 5 litre on Amazon and then dilute it myself.

    I avoid the likes of Halfords and the smell is not to my liking and it can stain the paintwork

    Besides online where can you buy it? Maybe they are sold out, but any time ive been in Halfords they only have their own brand which is absolute you know what i cant wait to get rid of whats in my tank.

    I checked Halfords myself recently. My local motor factors had a 500ml container of the screenwash. I've not seen the 5L
