How do you guys get into the really narrow areas, ie between and underneath the seats when you're cleaning the car? I'm pretty sure I have wildlife down there and there is certainly a lot of dirt. Vacuum cleaner extensions?

Shop vac with a narrow extension. If you want to clean the rails, the seats are going to have to come out. I use a tooth brush.

short of taking the seats out I take it to the body shop and use my friends air gun to blast it clean then vacuum it up.

Move the seat all the way foward and back with vacume extensions and for all the cracks I use a can of compressed air for computer keyboards with the shop vac on right next to it then go over it with a q-tip

A plug in lawn blower works great. Open the top and windows and blow everything out. Also good for drying the car after a wash.

just a note, if you use a leaf blower to dry your car you stand a chance to get water spots/streaks on it.
