Metro Vac N Blo or other Vac
I'm looking for an awesome car vac right now I have a 2.5 HP shop vac from Lowes. It's not bad, but it's not super great either. I would get one of those huge 6 HP shop vacs, but I need something relatively small, as those things are huge.
Anyone out there have a Vac N Blo? Do you feel its awesome or just meh... ? Maybe another vac under $200 or less price range? But, it's got to re sort of small.
What about the Vac n Go... Its a nice size. Are they much better than a 2.5 HP shop vac? Its hard to go by specs, because all manufacturers don't list them.

I have a 16 gal rigid 6.5 hp wet/dry vac. I dont think its that big but most of the 5+ hp models also have larger tanks. You may be able to find a 5hp with a smaller tank. No experience with Metro Vac n Blo

I have the vac n blo , the bag is really small but it has good lift and the blower feature so I think it's a good buy.

STeve IMO I would try and get by with your small shop vac and get a Master Blaster. I cant imagine the same hose that sucks all the crap from my cars and garage serving as a blower for my paint. BTW I have a wall mounted Hoover with a 30' hose. I only detail interiors on my cars so I don't need a super powerful Wet/Dry vacuum. I absolutely love my 8 HP MB but I consider it a luxury not a necessity.

I really like my small (2.5gl.?) 5hp Shop-Vac. It's nice and compact and really sucks! That being said if I had dispensible funds I would like to have several of the Metro models.

Re: Metro Vac N Blo or other Vac
I have a Vac N Blo and love it. Compact, powerful, plenty of attachments. It even has a small hose and brush for cleaning the instrument cluster and navigation system. The blower isn't powerful enough to dry an entire car, but it is useful for blowing out wheels and crevices. It also comes with a dolly, wheels, extension wand and floor attachment so it could be used as a second vacuum in the house, like in a finished basement or rec room. Only drawback is that the metal casing gets quite hot and can potentially cause a minor burn.
My Versa probably looks better than yours

I did order a Master Blaster. This would be just to vacuum.
