Which car hoover accessories?
Discussion
Oooh Yes.
As I discovered today, the only logical way to clear expired bugs from the inside of a Cayenne headlamp (how the f
k did they get in there in the first place?!) is to use your standard home hoover. Attach a piece of hosepipe with a handy piece of bodge tape (gaffer tape - call it what you will), then having removed the light unit, take out one of the bulbs - Shove the hose through the little hole and turn the hoover on and waggle ya pipe around! 
Hey presto - no unsightly bugs in my headlamp

Hasnt really answered your question though has it...
As long as you have a hoover where you can detach a pipe to get into the nooks and crannies (ie not a standard upright hoover) - getting inventive with various stuff laying round the garage should see you right. I also find using an old tooth brush to flick any debris towards the hoover pipe works a treat.
I use the small 't-shaped' attachment (probably intended for curtains etc) as my 'carpet' accessory in the car, and the smaller wedge shaped attachment to get into the door pockets and as far down the side of the seats as it will go.
Im sure someone will be along to point out that there is an ideal vacuum cleaner available that has all the gadgets and gizmos built in!

Yes I hope there's a nice ready made kit, else I'm just wasting so much time getting into the tough spots.
