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?

well if your vaccum cleaner allows the attachment that gives you this shape[] when you look at the barrel is the best one to use an taking the mats out then doing them seperatly also getting inbetween the cracks in the seat an dash

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.
