Winter meant snowdrift’s worth of slush and salt was dragged into your cab. Now’s the time to get it out — along with all the crumbs that have fallen between the seats and back in the sleeper. The RoadPro Vacuum plugs into your lighter and comes with a three-foot flexible hose, 12-foot cord and a heavy-duty dust bag.

Carrand 10-inch Bi-Level Dip-N Brush

Getting winter’s grime off your truck is going to take more than a wipedown with a rag. It’s going to take plenty of elbow grease. Coupled with an extension pole, the Carrand 10-inch brush lets you reach all spots on your truck. It can be used as a dip or flow-through brush and RoadPro says it has 40 percent more bristles than regular brushes.
