I've discovered forced air!

[Don M]

Years ago, I had a guy who has a detail shop tell me the "secret" to detailing was compressed air. Not having access to a compressor (at that time), I listened, but didn't dwell on it.

Now that I DO have a working compressor, the thought reoccurred to me, since there have always been two areas on the interior of my Camaro that I HAVE NOT been able to clean. The 'valleys' between the seat and the door sill, they are simply too deep and too tight to get even a crevice tool in there (or even my fingers). So the sad truth is that they have never really been cleaned since I owned the car.

That has now changed. Yesterday, I experimented with the compressor and a blower nozzle on the driver's side. The compressor is set at about 110 psi output and it took me all of 30 seconds to totally clean out the valley between the seat and door sill. That area has NEVER been that clean since I bought the car. While having an extension on the nozzle would have been nice, it did just fine with the 'stubby' nozzle.

I know, the REST of the interior is still filthy, but I was impressed by how well the forced air worked (and I DO plan on cleaning the rest of the interior, a little at a time).
