Good, flexible vacuum nozzle system?

The maples are dropping their seeds... All over... We have a ton of maples around. Getting them off the cowl and under hood is easy, but the nooks between the door metal and the fender are impossible. You need to contort your fingers backwards, risk the door closing and crushing them, etc.

The really small nozzles clog on one leaf or one maple whirlybird. Makes it really slow.

Can anyone recommend some good crevice tools to get litter out in tough places between sheet metal and in that notch between the door and the front fender???

Thanks!

I'd like to know to. my only solution is to use the pressure washer.

Doesn't that force the litter into crevices? Some may flush out, but all?

I have nothing to contribute but I will be watching this!

One of the body drains on the Focus is plugged with pine needles. Causing the carpet to get wet.

Toilet paper or paper towel rolls folded into a crevice. [censored] maybe even just use a thick enough stock of paper to just follow the crevice and wedge it out... then follow with duct tape to sticky remove the rest. Ask the wife... they got plenty of crafy ideas.

Can you blow them out with compressed air?

Depending upon how large the end of your vac hose is AND how much suction it supplies.....is to find a PVC end cap that's close or perfect. Use tape for the former. Drill a hole in the cap to fit a tubing size of your choice.

You'll no doubt need another hole just for make up air if your vac is powerfull.

Perhaps a car cover this time of year would help?
