Vacuum Cleaners

[Detail Newbi]

My dad and I are in progress on starting up a detailing buisness. We have been buying what we need and when it comes to vacuum cleaners we are not sure what to get, any suggestions on which is the best kind?

I have been using a ridgit 4 gal 5.0hp vac for six years, and never a issue

You want a shop vac not a vacuum cleaner ;) I have been using a 5hp Ridgid for several years now with no complaints.

Just remember, it's always important to "Mean what you say, and say what you mean."

It can be tough to help give someone the right answer if they aren't asking the right question. :props:

Personally I'm using a 6.5HP Shop Vac with a 12 gallon tank; pretty much any mid-level to high end unit you pick up at Home Depot, Lowe's, or similar stores will do the trick just fine.

How about some car attachments?

6hp Craftsman from Sears, around $80. I've had it for many years and it's still going strong.

I went throw 3 (shop vac) brand vacs in 3 years and was always careful about there care. So after the last one died I went with a (rigid)shop vac an haven't had a problem with it yet (2 years). Rigid also sells a auto accessory kit that come with many attachments an a new hose. The hose is far superior to the black one that come with the vac itself. And as far as the attachments I only use the crevice tool. Just my 2 cents but hope this helps.

Sure it's a rigid wet/dry 12gal 5.0hp vac. I do highly recommend getting the auto kit just for the hose it comes with. Haven't been able to find just the hose. The crevice tool is also bendable which really comes in handy.
