Vacuum detail kit you can't live without

[Coopers ST]

What detail kit or tools for your vacuum can't you live without? For me we have a Dyson that came with a tool with rotating brushes that is powered by the suction. It doesn't work well with the Dyson as it doesn't have the suction, but the shop vac is great.
So, what do you use?

4 things I can't live without:
1. The little triangle carpet & upholstery brush from the Ridgid car detailing kit.
2. Soft dust brush attachment.
3. 1.25" and 2.5" crevice tools.

Are they all in the car detail kit?

Wow is that kit really worth $40? Or does it come with a new vacuum that would make it a better deal?

The claw, round brush, crevice and the micro kit. I keep them all in a small mesh bag and carry it around as i vacuum.

The detail kit for the small metro vac, it's great on dashes and all the small crevice areas.

The triangle carpet & upholstery brush and the 1.25" crevice tool comes with the kit.. [2.5" crevice tool and soft dust brush I bought separately]

IMO that little triangle carpet brush is worth it alone. The crevice tool is cool too.. The 2nd "softer" triangle brush does me good as well as I solely use it to vacuum my canvas roof. [otherwise I wouldn't have much use for it. But it's perfect for my cars top]
The claw that comes with the kit is Garbage. And the 10' Orange hose is useless to me, because it doesn't compare in suction power to the standard 2.5" hose my vacuum came with, so I never use it.. But I might like it if my vacuum was 1 of the smaller models that came with a smaller hose to begin with.
Using the 2.5" crevice tool provides me with car wash strength vacuum power. I love it.💪🏽I also have a 2.5" Gulper attachment, along with the 2.5" car vacuum attachment. I don't mess around when it comes to the vacuum part of a detail. Lol.

[I should also mention that I didn't have to pay for the car detailing kit, it came included with my vac. back when it was a bundle. Which is why I have no complaints:)

I agree. The tool doesn't work well with house unit but rocks with a shop vac. I think the key is to let the brush bar rotate without undue pressure.:props:

for me, along the same thinking with a vacuum...i use my air compressor to get all the debris where i cant get a brush of any kind

I feel that is just as important as a good vacuum tool

Not to hijack the thread but...
anybody else use a air compressor with a nozzle?

You have to be careful with the small brushes as they have a plastic insert (to keep the bristles from collapsing and diminishing the suction). If you push down too hard on a plastic surface the inserts can scratch the plastic panel you are detailing.
