IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

In todays video I will show you the easiest way to convert you shop vac in to an extractor to clean carpets and upholstery! You can easily piece this together using the list of items i lay out... BUT it is much easier and actually cheaper to buy the RipClean Better Extractor Kit. I was very surprised when i added up the total to build the kit myself only to find out that the ready to use kit from Rip Clean was actually slightly cheaper. Converting your shop vac in to an extractor is an amazing way to get professional results on a budget. I personally use a Mytee Lite 8070 Heated extractor for my professional detailing business. But at over $1300 it doesn't make sense for many people to spend that much. This extractor kit that allows you to use your shop vac gets amazing results at a fraction of the price... ENJOY!!

Thanks for this. I'd use this for home carpet spot cleaning. FYI Suggestion: For your tank set-up you mentioned, and having not much pressure/flow. Perhaps try to parasite some of the shop vac exhaust air with hose. Run this into the top/lid of your tank. You'll want to play with air flow and/or some sort of vent on the tank so you don't have excess pressure build up and blow up your tank. Maybe a petcock pressure valve that vents at an appropriate psi. Or look into an rv water line pressure tank. They likely have a built in pressure release.

@Mainbusfail 8 ай бұрын

Just to enhance the information you are providing Josh, what you are looking for when choosing a vac for extraction is the Water Lift spec - this is measured in Inches, the higher the value, the better results you will get when pulling from the surface whether smooth or carpet. CFMs are important, but in relation to the motors actual pulling power - focus on water lift. Hope this helps anyone out.

@elic5355 4 ай бұрын

cfm and water lift do different things,cmf is basically how the vacuum allows your tool to grab the carpet/upholstery ,then the lift is the actual sucking up the water.

@MelvinFernandez-dj1yy 2 ай бұрын

Any vacuum recommendations?

@Mainbusfail 2 ай бұрын

yes, Advance is good, WAP/Alto works well. Stick with machines that have multi stage motors with bypass function. do not go with direct horsepower spec brands like rigid, shop vac etc.

@Mainbusfail 2 ай бұрын

not really, cfm is volume of air based on area of suction squared to radius of the hose diameter. tool grab isn't even a term used in the real world.

@elic5355 2 ай бұрын

@@Mainbusfail i was trying to make it simple. its totally different. i have had a extractor with 182 inches of lift and one with the same lift but 240 cfm. one is capable of about 15 feet of hose and one at about 200 feet. cfm allows the head of the tool pull/lock on/grab on fibers or fabric, then lift comes into play.

Another thought on the water hook up, put an in line valve with a hose bib on the HOT side coming from your water heater...Bingo. If you have a sink in your garage or the hot water heater is parked in the back corner something real easy to pull off. Thanks again for the primo content

Back in the day we would use the short pressure washing wand with a lower pressure nozzle. Point the nozzle toward the shop vac hose and basically pressure wash the dirt into the vacuum. 🤣😂🤣 if you were good with the angle it wouldn't soak the carpet or seat and would dry in a couple hours.

@ddautodetailing Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing this! I just might have to get one. Since most water heaters may be in the garage and have a hose connection, that could be a possibility for a hot water source. May need to turn the temperature down on the water heater though.

@imjoshv Жыл бұрын

Great idea!

@DJracerTT03 Жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing however I would probably figure out some sort of prefilter because of the sediment that collects at the bottom of water heaters. If it were me...I would tap in to the line on the top of the water heater and this would eliminate the sediment issue...you also would want to make sure the rating on the hose could handle the heat because coming straight off the water heater is going to be much hotter than say at your kitchen sink due to the thermal loss from the distance of the faucet to the heater.

Man, what a great video. Talk about your "poor man's" extractor. This is it, and I have a possible idea of what you might be able to do to get some hot water going here. On my water heater, there is a spicket, just like a garden hose spicket. I'm wondering if I couldn't hook up the female part of the hose to that so you could have hot water. Of course, depending on how big your water heater is, you could run out of hot, hot water, but you'd still have water that's in the process of heating up. Just an idea here. Thanks again for the very informative video. Marc Trainor

Which Rigid vac would be better? The WD4070 or WD4080? Both 4gal, but one is 5hp and the other is rated at 6 peak HP with a top detachable blower (like the top of the one in video). Have been building my own DIY since 2019, buying parts here and there, but accidentally bought the Ripclean while half asleep this morning (didn’t know I was logged into my Shop account, when pressing the best button to figure out price after tax). So I guess I’m finally going for it. Just need a second vac. 5hp with a free detailing kit, or 6hp with a top blower. Can’t decide if 1HP makes much of a difference when it comes to suction
