My stanley shop-vac does a nice job! Depending on how set in the dirt is, you'll probably need some product to help lift it.

thank you

dirt isn't set in but with weekly farm duties would like good suction power to keep the wagon clean, which is doing a trucks job

thank you will look up the Stanley one you recommended

I mean, much like Q-tips becoming what you call a cotton ear swab...
I think there's a good reason why Shop-Vac is known as the vacuum that sucks real hard.
Rigid works too, but personally, I'd go with Shop-Vac...get a decent sized one with a big motor. You won't have the best mobility and the strongest motor all in one, I don't think.
That thing can handle anything.

Also, if you have the cash, get the laser cut weathertech tray mats...nothing really gets around them onto the carpet that way.

Yes sir...
Shop Vac is the way to go, man...Rigid is good too...
others, sure thing...but if you think about being able to use it to drain your AC drain line and suck up while you cut drywall and anything else, it's a no brainer...
more versatile than you'd think to get a wet/dry vac like that. And you can just shake out the filter out in the street and it'll last indefinitely as long as you don't submerge it repeatedly IN the dust.

Are you getting dust in the car from just driving down teh road? The topper on my F150 does and it annoys the shit out of me...all my tools are white now.

I have a Shop Vac. It's pretty damn good. I've used it to suck water out from a pipe that busted in my water meter box. Mine is bag less as well and the filter is inexpensive to replace.

The vacuums at our local "self car wash" are pretty durable too.

It lasts quite a while as I have dedicated shop vac for water/shop stuff, this is wet dry vac as well. I got the item as a gift with extra bags and including the kit below.

Thoi - I wanted the craftsman but this worked out well since was a gift plus its a shorter and fits well with limited space in my garage.

Super dumb question

I used to have a DYSON back in the day when we had carpets in the civilized world. It had a thing, where once then container got full, I would just empty it. No bags no nothing.

Are there NON BAGS shop vacuum and is that recommended for easier maintenance ?

Well the plan for the Taco was a beater... but alas it still hurts to see anything new dirty. Wife's WRX was taken there once (since Lexus LS600hL didn't make it -thats what she traded the WRX for), but the ground clearance is worse. She's tired of the WRX anyways, so its gonna go soon. Should have never bought it. Interior quality is garbage.

Perfect

That answers my question. I didn't know if there were bag less ones.
