Default Interior cleaning - air compressor

Just seeing if anyone can recommend a good quality air compressor for interior cleaning of the nooks and crannies that other methods can't clean?
I bought a cheap mastercraft compressor and fried it within half a year from it running constantly during use.
Also, what products do you use on your interior for cleaning? Lately I have just been using a spray9 APC and it works fairly well
Thanks

I use a leaf blower. It does a good job of removing most of the larger stuff. Just open all if the doors and blow it out.

I use a home depot stinger shop vac and micro accesories. Perfect carpet/seat vacuum and fits under seats and in nooks and crannies. Also hook the hose to the exhaust and it becomes a blower.

want to see how clean your carpets are? use compressed air and a vacuume, you will be amazed at all the ground in stuff your vac leaves behind.

YOu might also look into the Tornado attachments. http://www.superiorcarcare.net/torna...FYgWMgod53MADw

My last compressor lasted 25 years proper oil changes and this unit will last just as long, so yes its a couple of bucks but spread out over time its worth it. You could get a 3 gallon pancake compressor it should do what you want.
