Vacuum cleaner

Anyone know of a good vacuum cleaner specifically designed for use with cleaning the cars interior. I am currently using a domestic unit and find it to be too bulky

Anyone know of a good vacuum cleaner specifically designed for use with cleaning the cars interior. I am currently using a domestic unit and find it to be too bulky and the fittings don't really suit.

I really don't think that someone has invented a vacuum cleaner just for cars...

Thanks, this looks like what I'm looking for. Now all I need to do is find one in Australia.
