    Re: Tips and tricks that help produce same results?

    20' is not enough to keep the vacuum in the trailer. I try to keep our work area as clutter free as possible. With 50' we can vacuum a car parked in just about any configuration to our trailer. We use the big, new Shop Vac that has the see through canister. The hose is just pool vac hose that has the correct fitting glued to it. It works fine, we notice no suction difference from 20' to 50'. We used a 20' hose for a few months.

    This is a 2012 M5 that we did yesterday. The interior was absolutely disgusting didn't look like it had been vacuumed in quite some time. You can see that the 50' hose works fine.

    By “pool vac hose” I’m assuming it’s 2.5” diameter hose?

    The cool thing is that if I somehow need more than 20’ [which is what I plan to buy] I can connect my current 7’ hose to make it 27’ feet.

    And if that still isn’t enough, I can connect the 10’ Orange hose for a total of 37’ feet.Tips and tricks that help produce same results?

    I’ve never seen or heard about the new Shop Vac with see through canister. Weird since I consider myself somewhat of a vacuum nerd.

    Shop Vac SVX2. I'm not looking to add a bunch of hoses. You have your system, it works for you. We get where we're going, we unroll the hose, kick on the genny, we have a vacuum remote on the working end of the hose, boom we're in business. If the customer has two cars, boom we're in business.

    the exterior car-washing tasks.
