First i want to say thank you to everyone.
This forum is great, everyone is helping others that's what life is about.

I am looking for a good wet/dry vacuum or something that will work from autogeek.
I am a college student with a limited budget.
My folks just purchased an suv. I am the the fleet maintenance manager.
We have 3 cars cars that i try to maintain.
So i need something strong. I have a craftsman 1.75 hp mini wet dry vac.
It does the job but its time consumming becouse the hose is somewhat small.
I need to get the dirst out of there.
THnaks again for your suggestions.

Get a Ridgid vac. They are nice and powerful, and well built too. You can buy them at home depot, and they even have a 4gallon portable unit if storage is an issue.

+1 for the Ridgid vac, I have had mine for almost a year and for the price they are a great value. They also have different "auto" accessories to make their vacs work even better when cleaning your cars.

If the vaccum you currently have works well, try to see if you could invest in to a better longer hose to suit your needs. If not, you can't go wrong with a ridgid. I have a small one I believe is 5 gallon not sure, it works perfect and I score it on a good deal last year.

The Powr-Flite PF51 will be my next vacuum. I challenge you to find a similar style vacuum with 100" of water lift and be reasonably priced like the Powr-Flite model.
