As title says...

I came back from bashing on gravel yesteday night... SO MUCH DUST ALL OVER THE TRUCK!!! had a go at clearing it with a brush but not good enough...

I dont need an over kill one as its only for the truck, but not sure what to get or what is adequate... Some of the ones i see are HHUUUGGGEEE

Any recommendations?

Thanks

I have a craftsman portable air compressor that is on wheels and has twin, 2 gallon tanks stacked one above the other. You can even remove the tanks from the dolly to carry it with you with the added weight of the wheel assembly. I love it, it was cheap and does quite a bit. It has enough power to run my heavy impact wrench to remove the wheels on my 1:1 rigs but is small enough for someone who doesn't have a garage to store a bigger one in. I can easily lift it into my truck to take it on the go. I'll try to find a link for it.
