    Hey guys, I am gonna work on my fiancee's mom's 2000 Mazda Miata this weekend. You know, the kind with the horribly dingy yellow "clear" vinyl windows. Does anyone know how to clean these things or get them back to being clear again. Any previous threads or video would help. Thanks!

    Does a Shop Vac Blow Clean Air???

    Thinking about buying a Rigid Wet/Dry/Blower Vac from Craigslist. Assuming the filter is fairly clean and I buy a new hose dedicated to blowing ONLY... Do you think it would be safe to blow air onto a freshly washed car? If not, do you think buying one of the stronger HEPA filters would help?
