IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

Harbor Freight just release another new item for detailers and car enthusiasts alike. The new Bauer Premium Auto Detailing Accessory Kit for Wet/Dry Vacuums is essentially a replica of the the Rigid Detail Accessory Kit but at over 50% off. But how do they compare? Is the Rigid worth the extra $30 or is this new kit at Harbor Freight equally as good? ENJOY!!!

I already bought the Rigid kit with my new Rigid vac. Saving $30 would have been great, but I think I got the vac and accessory kit on sale, so that helps. Harbor Freight is really stepping things up! Great video!

U mean copying Rigid development team's idea and choice of attachments and overall putting together a nice kit? So the HF team comes in and says "we can copy the design and sell it cheaper", are we calling that a great job now? 👏 ok

I bought this kit last weekend and finally used it today. Wow! This is way better than the rigid setup. The rigid hose would constantly have this high pitched annoying whistle hooked up to both my shop.vac and vac master vacuums. And the attachments from rigid would never stay on the extensions I had already with my shop.vac. The Bauer hose has no whistle sound and all of my other attachments stay on perfectly with this Bauer set up. This kit is very well worth the $25 and I would highly recommend. Thanks for this info Josh. My rigid hose is gonna get sold at my next community garage sale. Lol

I use the Ridgid car vac kit for everything else but you should try the Miele tool also.

I hope later you do check the instruction manual to know where and what each piece is for and goes. Later on when you have time can you make an update on your garage floor Vevor tiles to see how its holding up and quick I do buy the items you review on your page and I have not been disappointed. Thanks for all your effort.

11:04 FWIW I think you gotta sand down the tips of the rigid crevice tool as well to avoid damaging leather surfaces. I've put light scratches/scuffs in real leather & subaru fake leather in the wilderness outback using this tool. Once I sanded it out with like I think 400 grit at least to finish, it is totally smooth & eliminates this risk. I'd recommend anyone do it if you get either of these kits.

I picked this kit up the other day and it's great. It wasn't on the shelf in my store either, so I had to ask and they grabbed it from the back. The only negative for me is the stiff bristle brush as I think it's too stiff for any interior cleaning. I did try it on the carpet of a really dirty driver's side footwell and I didn't like how it pulled the carpet fibers. To be fair, I've never used the Ridgid kit so I might not like the stiff brush from their kit either.
