This is incredible!! I was about to drop $1200 on a Mytee extractor (sorry Mytee) and now I can save $1000 and some space just using the RipClean set up. Thank YOUU!
Ive had the bissel & vac master but NOW use my rigid vac with a kit i built with the detail king head, rigid orange hose, and braide poly tube with fittings! I LOVE IT!
@@TrealTalk187 I have the mytee 8070 and Ive had it for about 2 3 months. You can undo 4 Phillips screws to clean it. When I did the little plastic holes the screws go through fell apart and we're all broken. Still works but now leaks air through all the screw holes. Looking to get a different head now
@@TrealTalk187 I still like the mytee don't get me wrong, but if I'm paying 125$ for just the head attachment you would think it wouldn't be so brittle, and I am very very careful of my things never dropped, always set down gently etc. I did see another head on Amazon where the water sprayer is internal of the head which doesn't create such a mess/over spray when extracting. You do lose a little water pressure is what I heard but it'd be nice when doing the upper part of the seats and not getting everything in the bottom below soaked lol
@@VvGUNNERvV yea I heard about that before on other posts, crazy, you would think you can just mail it in to them and they give you a new one. The DTKing head is probably the one im going to go with then, thank you
I’m glad Nashville is a big city I’ve been detailing here a while and never heard of this guy. Guess it’s true what they say there’s enough food for everyone. Keep up the good work my guy
Pro Cleaner Tips: Great vid! but you're too kind to the Bissell and such extractor machines. I used a truck mount for 25 + yrs. Those Bissell, hoover, dirt devil wannabe extractor systems are toys. I wouldn't use one if I got it for free. Mytee is a lower end brand in the industry, but they have a niche with hard-plastic products that are more affordable than traditional stuff, but I've definitely paid the consequences of using one of their cheaper tools before. That mytee machine is rated as a portable for carpet cleaning. Like you said, it's just a glorified vacuum with wannabe complicated tanks and valves so as to feel like a real carpet cleaning machine. It's just a bigger toy. It's still limited by the wall outlet. You can't clean house carpet with a machine that plugs in the wall. But you CAN do automobile carpet and upholstery (and house upholstery) with a vacuum that maxes out your typical wall outlet (15amps) and that Rigid is fine for that job. Your rigid DIY tips are great, but can easily be much more so I'll throw some tips for viewers looking for ideas to cheaply improve their capabilities. For water pressure, you don't need much for upholstery at all. Normal garden hose pressure is enough to do a car and also indoor upholstery like a sofa or recliner. Home Depot and Amazon have a blowout winterizer fitting they call it that adapts your garden hose/water spigot threads to 1/4 inch male quick connect for air or water. At Home Depot it's a Husky brand product in the section by the air compressor fittings. Using that adapter, all you'd need to do is run the adapted garden hose to a 1/4 in female quick connect that's on your extractor tool whip. You might find an adapter with opposite sex, then just change the fitting on your extractor whip accordingly. Then when you turn on the water spigot, you have adequate water pressure to clean with, just pull the extractor tool trigger and it will spray nicely. You can adjust pressure by turning the spigot, OR, get a needle valve from Amazon for $10 or less and add that inline behind the quick connect on the extractor tool whip. This will allow you to fine tune water pressure at the tool so you can just crank the spigot up all the way and forget about it. For vacuum: Check out the dust separator cyclone vacuum things on Amazon. It's a baffle that goes in-line with your vacuum. Delmar has one on Amazon that is designed to fit on top of a 5 gal bucket. Run your shop vac to the bucket, then run vacuum hose from the bucket to your extractor tool. Now your waste water and debris goes in the bucket instead of your vacuum. Game changer. Much faster to unhook and dump the bucket, plus it allows you to separate dry vacuum trash from dirty water. Trust me you want these separated. Otherwise you'll have to pour the wastewater through a mesh/net bag to strain the trash out later. You can dump dirty extractor water right back on the customer's lawn, or your own lawn, but not if it's got a bunch of trash in it. So the dry debris can go in the vacuum's tank and the dirty water can fill the bucket. Or use two buckets. Dry vac the car first with bucket A, then switch to bucket B when u go to water extraction. Bring trash bags for emptying the dry debris. Leave it in the customer's trash if u want. Using two buckets makes maintenance on the vacuum and filter non-existent since you'll never actually have trash go into your vacuum and it also doesn't matter if your vacuum has a small tank. I highly recommend this since stacking buckets is space saving and cheap while traveling. And here's a hack... You can find vacuum hose fittings usually by looking for 'dust collector' stuff. Get a vacuum 3 way splitter Y or Tee that fits your shop vac (usually 1.25 or 1.5 in) or make one out of pvc pipe. Now you can hook TWO shop vacs to your waste bucket for double the suction. You still have the one vacuum hose to your tool and you work the same exact way, but you'll have double the vacuum power collecting into the same bucket. But you'll need to run one vacuum machine on a separate circuit, so bring an extra extension cord and plug into a separate room's outlet. Or, get a 2000+ watt 12v to 120v inverter for your car. Hooking it up is like installing car audio so it's not hard, but if you're not very handy you might get Best Buy to install an inverter for you if you buy it and bring it to them with your car. You'll then maybe need an extra 12v battery to work in parallel with your car's OEM battery to help sustain all the electrical loads, but you won't need a bigger alternator. It costs a few dollars for that set up but then you'll be completely independent for electric needs if that's useful to you as a mobile detailer. While you're at it, tap into the vehicle oil system and add a plate heat exchanger for an infinite hot water source. Just find an oil filter sandwich adapter that matches your vehicle's oil filter threads, or use adapters to force a fit. That will provide you with In/Out function to your hot oil system. Don't need a pump, thermostat, bypass, valves, nothing. It's extremely simple. Just run the in/out oil feed to a plate heat exchanger you can easily mount under the car or in the cargo area of a work truck or van. Then run hoses from the plate heat exchanger to somewhere accessible in or under the car. Either hose acts as cold water in and the other will act as hot water out. If you can't tap the oil system, try tapping into the upper radiator hose or heater core and use the same exact plate heat exchanger setup with engine coolant as the heating medium. You'll of course need your engine running in park while you work to sustain heat and/or run electricity to your vacuum(s). You might also try buying a pool filter aka hydro filter. These are about $100 and sit inline with the vacuum. It might require vacuum adapter fittings to fit onto your vacuum hose setup. It's an airtight canister that holds a large metal/mesh filter a little bit bigger than the canister at a bank drive thru. It will catch all the hair and trash but will allow dirty water to pass on through to the tank. This way you can dry vac and switch to wet extraction without having to mess with anything. The pool filter thing is easy to empty when you feel your vacuum getting weak. Just gotta unscrew the top, pull out the full filter, empty the full filter into a trash bag, rinse out the sand and dirt from the threads on the canister top and the mesh on the filter, then replace the filter and screw on the canister top. Takes a couple minutes. For other ways to get hot water if tapping into your car is not possible: bring an electric kettle. Boil water and fill a pump sprayer. Use that boiling water sprayer to rinse with. Add an acidic rinse like matrix or prochem all fiber rinse to that hot water to assist in flushing stronger, higher pH pre-sprays. Harbor freight has the Bauer cordless pump sprayer so you don't even have to pump anymore. Amazon has quite a few cordless pump sprayer offerings as well. If you have shop air (air compressor) you can turn any regular hand pump sprayer into an automatic sprayer. Just drill a hole in the top area and add a bulkhead fitting. Or get a sprayer that already has two holes in the top. They all have one hole for the hose in the top, but some models now have a second hole for a pressure release valve. Just yank that crap off and use the extra hole to add a 1/4 inch quick connect fitting for the shop air. You can add a needle valve to fine tune the pressure if need be. Or bring a microwave with you. For dash and hard surfaces, wet a towel and microwave it for a couple minutes, then use it on all the surfaces without any soap or cleaners. That boiling hot towel should get everything up, even old coca cola syrup. For the cloth and carpet, wet a terry or microfiber bonnet pretty good and throw it in the microwave for a couple minutes. Using proper gloves, grab the boiling hot bonnet and put it on your DA polisher or drill/rotary backing plate and spin it on the pre-sprayed carpet or upholstery you're cleaning. Bring plenty bonnets if this is your method, as they'll quickly turn brown and black with filth. Most high end detailers are going with this method and using VLM / encapsulation chemicals as prespray on the carpet or upholstery. You can get these chemicals from jondon or Amazon from brands like prochem, Chemspec, and matrix. All these brands make presprays and rinses. For extraction, use higher pH prespray and rinse with acidic all fiber rinse in your water. For rotary or DA cleaning, known as VLM, use the encapsulation chemicals or specific vlm detergents from those brands. The DA or rotary tool can absorb the encapsulated dirt with bonnets or pads that you then clean later in your washing machine. This method is much more dry and allows u to give the car back quicker without drying it for long periods, but as you can imagine it won't work on super dirty cars. Higher end customers don't have much dirt and they'll have leather seats too, so you'll use extractors much less and DA more which is great when u can, or when you're doing a follow-up on a car u already recently used water extraction on. Bring both systems, but only use the extractor if VLM method isn't cutting it. Play around with whatever method works best.
Not a professional car detailer by any stretch of the imagination. Which means that my "best bang for the buck" is a regular wet & dry vacuum. Model, Nilfisk Multi 20, with a Bissel extractor head. The liquid, usually regular tap hot water, comes from an excellent Gardena sprayer. In use the set is kind of bulky. But surprisingly efficient and did I say inexpensive... ;-) With that said on my particular scenario I couldn't imagine myself buying thousands in equipment to do the exact same thing I'm doing now. If I was a pro. Yeah, it would make sense. For private use, no way. both pieces of equipment double into their normal functions and duties when not in "extractor mode"!
I was just thinking about doing this since I have the same Rigid wet / dry vac, except I have the 4.5 gal and I love it! Thanks so much for the extractor attachment link! :)
if you want hot water, use a bucket heater, get a bucket add water get the bucket heater to heat it up then you good, you can have hot water, drill the hole in the bucket to get a water hose setup for it as well then boom! hot water extractor.
@@wilsonp6599 i use a pump sprayer plumbed to my extractor to pump hot water. That's if I'm at home though where I have access to it. Otherwise I just use my steamer when mobile then extract
@@wilsonp6599 those the links to the items you would need. The hole saw and then the hose connector. I got these items for this exact reason. Gotta get a bucket heater next but ya this all you need then boom you in there!!!
Thank you very much. I watch some other detail that are not nearly as helpful. I’m just starting and your videos are sooooo helpful. Really appreciate!!!
Nice, I already have the rigid shop vac and have been using an extractor I got from Amazon. Doesn’t have the water feature but I’ve had very good results with it and my Mccullam steamer
Took your advice and got a rigid for shampooing. I do not currently need the hose attachment, have not ran into a job where I need to soak seats to that extent. I also do have electronic spray bottles and could always have one with water to spray more fluids if necessary.
I started my business with NO EXTRACTOR and have not needed one yet! I have not had a detail yet that I can not handle with a steamer and vacuum. If I over saturate something I can just use my vac to suck out the water and chem, steam, mop with a towel and I'm done. I have everything I need for the DIY Extractor but haven't needed to put it together 🤷🏽♂️
Your steam cleaner. Your shampoo your carpet drill brush can tackle a lot of the work. I break extractors out on really rough cars generally. 5 years in the business
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////
If you have time. I am a little confused. I need an extractor for an extremely filthy car - think soiling equivalent to a hoarders house. Where the upholstery has multiple old deep disgusting stains. Which one would you advise as best for these situations?
I had a guy that worked at a major car washing company. I was asking him about them vacuuming up change dollar bills etc. He told me they go through the vacume garbage they average over $7000.00 a year in change and bills. That's how they afford a nice Christmas party. They probably vacume up more than bills and change for there party.
But you also have a video about how you dont need an expensive extractor and the bissell spotclean pro is great. So what is it? Or just trying to recommend a lot of different products for the affiliate link bonuses?
ime the wet filter(foam) will clog with dust, but you can use it at risk of ruining it. I would just keep two filters for the appropriate application, dry paper for normal vacuuming and the foam wet filter for extractor purposes, good luck!
I started with a small extractor from a local Walmart then I decide to switch to a vacuum + shampoo machine vs the one from Walmart that broke on me and couldn't be replaced spent $300 on the vac master
my question is, if i were to set up the water coming from a tank on the back of my truck. What type of pump can i use? there has to be a way of doing it but same time not burning out the pump by leaving it on without water flowing such as when im using it but not spraying
Hello. You are very knowledgeable about this topic. I like your videos. I live in Russia and I would like to buy dry cleaning equipment for my cars in the USA. Can you help with this question?
What do I do hook up to the customers sink? LOL! Kenmore Spotlight has been a good start for me for around $130 with a sale. I have a Rigid 6.5HP Vaccume, pet hair brush, and use the P&S 3-step. Just started doing this, I have had 7 customers in just a lil over two weeks with 6 appointments scheduled for before the end of the month. I do this with a Hyundai Veloster, have a 2100PSI pressure washer, around 16 different cleaners, some buckets, a hose, extension coord and brushes. I hit $1020 in Revenue this week and will be in profit at my next job in the beginning of next week. Doing Full Ext/Int for $144 on SUV's atm. Just got this down to 4h 30m the other day.
I've been thinking about this for months now. I have the vac already thought about buying a 2nd one for extracting. My only question is for the hose hookup does it have to be pressurized? I use a gravity feed to my pressure washer at the moment.
As a commercial pressure wash guy. Chemicals first. Pressure Heat. That being said, every commercial company runs big hot units and not the best chemicals.
Theres a setting for this! Click on the little gear in the bottom right & its called playback speed. I use it periodically when watching Scotty Kilmer (̶◉͛‿◉̶)
hmmm my (tank) water heater for my home is in the garage. I wonder if connecting the hose to the drain port would supply enough pressure to make this work? I may need some type of sediment filter to run inline, but the water heater is only 2 years old.
@@VvGUNNERvV it actually already has it ....when it was installed they flushed the tank and hooked a house to it ....going to figure out some quick connects and set up tomorrow....thanks
Little off topic, but as a non-native English speaker I get really mad when I see most (even Wilson guy in products&tools list) native English speakers misspell Ridgid.
...or you can skip all this, and save up some money for a commercial grade steam unit and vacuum. Save time. Save chemicals. Save water. Save materials. Sure... you're looking at a solid $4k.... but you're adding back an easy $8-10k to your annual bottom line, AND expanding your service capabilities.
Hello Wilson. I love your content. The only problem is it's a very hard task to catch up with you. You speak very fast. Kindly, slow down. Keep up the good work.
Привет. Ты очень разбираешься в отой теме. Мне нравятся твои ролики. Я Живу в России, И хотел бы купить оборудование для химчистки своих авто в USA. Ты можешь помочь с данным вопросом?
Lmao this can’t trust anything these kids say now days online most of them are paid to say anything dumb af. I have bissel spot pro and the power is fine. Everything about it is fine.
When a person speaks to others, the goal should be COMMUNICATION. While some may be able to understand someone speaking so quickly, many will not. To the latter (which includes me), communication is lost. Thumbs down - not for content but for poor communication. Won't be back.
Brother you talk too much, if you are doing a lot of heavy-duty cleaning just get a proper extractor, especially if you are constantly using lots of pulling actions and you want a machine that produces steam.
Home-made is a great idea, if I say so myself! I just put the foam filter over the paper filter in my $129 1250W 20 litre Ryobi shop vac and duct taped a narrow head on the vacuum hose. Used my 5 litre garden pump sprayer to soak seats/carpet with cleaning solution, medium brush on my cheapo battery drill and the Ryobi sucked up the water really well. Windows down and let it air dry for a few hours.
Can you explain what you mean by “duct taped a narrow head on the vacuum hose?” Why does it need to be a narrow head as opposed to one of the attachments that comes with the shop vac? Thank you in advance
@@serchizm My barrel vac didn't come with a suction head that's only about 4 inches wide, but I had an old one. It didn't fit the Ryobi hose so I taped it on. It sucks ferociously!
Man i was ready to purchase the bissel spot cleaner because you spoke so highly about it in your other video especially since ill only be using it for personal vehicles but now with this video doesnt seem like a good purchase. Seems like you kinda did a 180 on that review
I have a question, with out the exactor head just the wet vac; would you get the same results. Idea for cleaning area rugs: Spray down with hose Lay down solution Hit it with drill brush Pressure wash Do that sweet squeegee thing Repeat that how ever many times you need maybe with hot water if need be Then clean it up with the wet vac. Or should I also be wet vacuuming between one of those mentioned steps ???? Please help thank you !
I’d like to see the CFM and inches of water-lift numbers for the vacuums. The best dry-only vacs have 110” - 120” of water lift (suction), and 85 CFM - 130 CFM in airflow. If you get high enough suction, you can buy air-driven turbo tools that have a brush roll that spins to help grab embedded dirt.
I'm so confused why can't I find any videos or anywhere information about a rug extractor for the home ? The machine stage show that are carpet shampooers for the home are clunky and heavy and they look backbreaking why is it that they don't come with a wand like the professionals use or like these little held hand ones ?
