IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

Having a great vacuum makes life so much easier! But what makes a great vacuum? In todays video we will be talking about the new HD0300 3 Gallon 5.0-Peak HP NXT Wet/Dry Vac from Rigid and available at Home Depot. This little unit is amazing for car detailing and general purpose applications. It has a sweep feature that I have never seen on a shop vac before. Its also stackable for easy storage, and is fully self contained with all the accessories stored inside the vacuum. At 3 gallons with a 5hp motor this shop vac is ideal for most situations. As a car detailer, 3 gallons is all i need, and the 5 hp motor gives me the right amount of lift to pull out all the dirt and debris from vehicles. ENJOY!!!

Hey thanks for the video, I recently started a mobile car wash/detail business and bought this vacuum so I'm glad to hear from a pro that I made a good choice. I also use it as a step stool along with my rigid pro gear 2.0 box. It also saves space, when using a hatchback space matters big time. I'm tempted to try the 18v battery powered version but since I don't have the batteries it would be an expensive investment for parking lot jobs. I 'd love to see a detailers review on that model.

Anyone try this with a bucket top Home Depot dust stopper or dust deputy for power tool dust extraction? Planning out a sawdust cleanup setup.

I could fit this and a dust cyclone in the bottom of a shop cart easy.

I have it setup on the bottom of a 2'x4' mobile workbench on casters I built. Top is same height as table saw so doubles as a support/outfeed table. I was between that and a similar spec Rigid at HD, both at $100. The shop vac one endsd up on sale for $10 off so went with that. It works great with the dustopper.

this vacuum is pretty useless. I bought for the 5.0 hp. I have another rigid 5.0 I love. It's on wheels and it's just a good powerful vacuum. This one is such a disappointing waste of money/time and energy. Short springy hose that doesn't stretch far enough to help you, there's no wheels so you have to carry it everywhere. That suction area for the sweeping is stupid because HELLO you have a vacuum, why are you sweeping?? They must've known that the buyer will ultimately end up using the old reliable broom. I give it 9 thumbs down.
