        I don't have a leaf blower. Can I use a rake?

          I got 2 leaf blowers, one of the back pack ones and a hand held gas. Dude they're like $50 at Wal Mart. Granted....it'll prolly blow up when you try to start it...

            How can you not have a leaf blower? V8 uses his to clean out everything! LOL

              I prob. should run the lawnmower thru mine before using the leafblower...

                I had the advantage of a compressor from my buddys shop. Looked like a dust storm blowing out of the hatch.

                    Aww, I just did this and didn't think to bust out the leaf blower. Nope, broom and a shopvac for me.

                      my friend (who's currently doing an engine swap to his Hyundai Accent) took a pressure washer to the inside of his car to clean out the crap!!

                      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                        Took my interior apart twice. Used a shop vac and washed EVERYTHING. It's STILL Dirty! (the previous owner used the car as a firewood storage box, beehive and mouse nursery) Dust and woodchips keep appearing ALL THE TIME! Dead bees and mouse crap keep blowing out of the vents.

                        It's awful!

                        Leaf blower? I may have to try that.

                            hey i just got a idea for you... put some duct tape over the vents where the air gets sucked in on the outside of the car and open that little cover in the passenger side of the engine bay and stick the leaf blower in there... that should BLAST all of that junk out

                              Laugh if you want, but I'm seriously thinking of doing that.
