Vacuum ?

[van185]

I'm looking to buy either the Metro wall mounted vacuum or the Autobahn vacuum. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I'm also open to other brands. All help is appreciated. This will be for a small detail shop.

It's not a wall mount, but the specs on this one are out of this world, especially when you consider it does wet...which the MB does not. I have had mine a year now and will not be without it.

Kind of on the same topic, but for vacuums that also act as blowers, do you guys use them as both or go with a dedicated vacuum/blower pair?

I have a Metro Full Size Vac N Blo mounted on my garage wall with 30' of hose. One of the best purchases I have made. I would buy another one in a heart beat

I dont use both features because after awhile the dirt builds up in the hoses. If you reverse the air it will most likely blow dust to your car or whatever you are blowing. It might work if you had a second hose dedicated to blowing but that might be a pain IMO.

I have used mine for blow drying a number of times. I removed the end cap and bag to maximize the air flow. I never encountered a problem with dust or dirt on my paint and I have a black car. I guess this might potentially cause a problem but that was not my experience.

I have purchased a Master Blaster because the air output on the Vac was not enough for my taste, but it is still functional for blowing out the lug nut wells and body seams. A good LSP on the paint is a must if you wish to use it for drying the whole car.
