You can always hook up a hose to the washing machine hot water tap and that does the trick.
3:00 Just be careful when you drag the hose over the door opening and seats that you aren’t snagging the interior from those zip tie buckles. Maybe use the two-sided Velcro straps with the soft side out! Just a thought 💭
True! Those zip ties will cut your legs up if you're not careful
or get a flush cutter....
Velcro straps for the win. Those zips tie ends will destroy some stuff…
Black electric tape.
Hey Luke thanks for another great video . This old man has learned a lot of detailing tricks from you. Just a suggestion, use side cutters to trim your wire ties all the way down to the base as they can be very sharp and will cut you or the interior your working on. I was a electrician by trade and used wire ties daily and speak from experience !
I just built my own DIY extractor, but have not been able to use it yet! Can't wait! Great video Luke
Dude SO true. The power of suction is what is key to removing soil and moisture. For upholstery, you barely need much psi, that garden hose is more than enough. Heat is helpful, but isn't super necessary. The reason those extractors are so expensive is because it's such a proprietary product. You got everything you need for a fraction of the cost
Thank you so much, just purchased all the items. I decided to buy all the items on the amazon links listed in the description instead of buying the $200 or so hose + airhose kit
Thanks for putting this list together. This is extremely helpful
You have a very good channel and I’m thankful for your many good ideas and tips.
This is a great video, I did mobile detailing for many years, I had a mytee extractor, I did not have a generator, I used the electric from the customer... it was a hot water extractor with only 1 plug to power the pump, vacuum, and heating element.. the problem I ran into was if I tried to power all 3 at once I ended up blowing the circuit breaker... so I had to use 2 separate circuits... so I used the heat and pump from the mytee extractor and used the vacuum from a home depot ridged wet dry vacuum which was alot stronger then the mytee
Love this. Good to know I don't have to buy an expensive machine to start detailing. I already have the ridgid vacuum
My homeboy built this exact extractor. It works great.
I did this about 5 months ago and it’s was worth it. I ordered mine from Rip clean and it does take about 2/3 weeks before you get it shipped to you and it’s free shipping. I am just using my Ridgid 4 gal 5.0 peak portable vacuum with the wet filter as an extractor I have the Ridgid 3 gal peak HP NXT to vacuum cars. It’s compact and really strong enough to vacuum the cars and you can put it in the car if you want. But I also bought the Ridgid car detailing hose kit. And I used velcro straps to attach my water line to my hose no rips or snags.
Just started going through the class you have online, loving it! I’ve really been thinking about this as a solution, but I’ve also been toying with an idea to make it a full on hot water extractor. Because you don’t need like 4gpm or something crazy for this. You could conceivably connect it to one of the mobile camping shower hot water systems, and just run your cold water hose in and connect the blue one to the hot outlet for the shower head.. I’d love to see you try it, and truthfully once I get the funds to finally start my business I’m going to try it myself. But just thought I’d put that bug in everyone’s ear and see how it develops. Great video. I love this kit! It’s certainly not cheaper than the parts list to buy individually but having the time savings really seems to throw the kit over the top of me. Just an easy buy, and then plug and play
You can certainly buy the parts individually and make your own kit and save money. However, all of the extractor that I have seen just have a copper hose coming out of the end and spray it as a stream of concentrated water in one small spot, the size of a dime. This particular brand sprays, the mist of pressurized water over the width of the suction device so it’s much better set up.
You bought a class? I bought $1,200 of equipment, made a business page, boosted an add and just acted like I knew what I was doing. Ill have 14 bookings my first month so far and thats if nobody contacts me for the last 15 days which I doubt.
Nice video! I ended up making my own version because I wanted to use extractor head that comes with the mytee. Keep up the good work👍
As a Mobile detailer, I have been thinking about this setup and specifically trying to keep the water line nice and tidy because it has to go all the way back to my van and I’ve found a solution! If I just tip tie it to the power cord of the vacuum. They are both coming from the same general direction! 👍 thanks Luke for trying this out because I really value your opinion. I was looking at the vac master beast for a vacuum anyways so my rigid will be dedicated to my extractor.
The vac master is great! I recently got one.
@@datboi_james8969 I also love the Vacmaster great suction!
Try two sided velcro straps so that the sharp ends and blocks don't scratch anything :D but yeah im definitely with you and will build one as well.
If you don’t have a water hook up, is there some way to create a pressurized tank for the water supply?
@Love To Do Cool Stuff easily. So you could buy a{(1/2)5gpm pump, put a bulk head fitting for (1/)2 on a 55 or 30 gallon container, and plumb that to the pump. If you like get an accumulator after the pump just o keep the power up. Get a deep cycle marine batter to power the pump and presto!!
Nice retrofit. Looking forward to now thoughts like this
Great video luke I was telling another detailer about this yesterday
I use this exact setup once every two weeks and I use both dry and wet and it works perfectly
Amazing, can’t wait to try this with my business
Did this 2 years ago. Works perfect .
We just picked up the ridged 4 gallon and it didn't disappoint. We have a German Shorthaired Pointer mix who sheds alot. This vac and a simple dog handwash glove with the rubber nubbies..made short work of that hair!! Thanks buddy
Try pretreating the surface with a highly diluted bottle of fabric softener too. Works wonders.
I plan on getting one of those and hooking it to my Bauer battery powered shop vac. I have the 7 gallon one with the wheels.
This video was SUPER informative.
My guy you should be a salesmen 😂 Wasn't sure what extractor to get but now im building my own!
Haha I just like this type of product because I actually use it, conviction is probably the best sales strategy
Cool mate, still loving my bissell pro, hope you’re well
I ordered this setup after watching your video and I got an email today there 2 weeks from shipping because of your video. They said they sold out almost overnight. I told them they should send you a commission check and thank you card.
Great video Luke!
Great job. Would be nice to see the results on a lighter color interior like beige or light gray but overall I am going to get this setup for my own car.
Hey Luke, I'm a mobile detailer in LA. I followed your recommendation and got the Aqua Pro Vac over a year ago. I also have a separate vacuum. How does this compare? I like that it is a two in one unit and it can save some space in my car.
That water line hookup is an absolute game changer
I built a similar setup and that is one of the main advantages, you never need to refill a tank.
Awesome video, will be buying that! Any extra tips for a suede interior?
Thank you for this very helpful review. Just would like to confirm how many times did you require to empty the tank when cleaning 1 car?
So i actually order this from rip clean an it about 4 weeks to arrive but iam barely bout to build my own with this kit .hope it is worth the wait
I am going to try it out.
Hey man great video, what would I need to search up to find the correct fittings for a air hose with a 1/4 quick connect and also be able to connect it to my hose ?
I’ll be building one of these soon to replace my tiny underpowered Bissell.
The kit is unavailable! Noooo!!! Lol. Thank you Wilson for the great info. God bless you and your family. 🙏
I bought the vacuum and a shampoo attachment on Amazon. I'm using P&S 3 step and am sticking to spray bottles. My main issue is simply not extracting dirt and water quick enough.
I gotta say, that's super!!!
🎉 I thought you made a video about the Rip-clean extractor kit-- You can only use that with a 2.5 inlet vacuum. The rigid is 1.87-- How do you use the rip clean with your rigid 4 gallon With different inlets-- Thanks hopefully I get your answer
I have the setup attached to a Vac Master Beast 3 in 1 with all parts i put together myself and I must say it's incredible!
kzhead.infoA8bm06SP5dI?feature=share
Great video! I did have to change my playback settings to .75 cause man! you talk at 100mph! LOL
Hi there, i was hoping yo ucan clarify as to why you recommend using a separate vac as a dry vac and another for the extraction. Appreciate it.
Super video, my guy
Brilliant!
good video buddy
What I despise about the 8070 lite is the placement of the pump connection, to much foam 1 time and bloop toast. However it's also my favorite but now I'm gonna give this a try
What is the recommended PSI for the attachment? Because I'm trying to convert a no pump gardens sprayer into a 2 gallon hot water attachment to turn this into a hot water extractor
So ok… the hose kit that comes with it in the kit can connect directly to a water hose itself or connect straight to the standard water hose hookup like coming from the side of every house?
Great content 👌 ty
Can I still use it as a regular vacuum once I upgrade it? So use the vac first with a different head then change the head for & use it as an extractor?
Hola. saludos de mexico .. me encanto la gran idea . Esta genial . Solo una pragunta la que avienta el agua esta conectada ala manguera o auna idrolavadora . Seve que sale con precion podrias de cirme . Ya vi el video pero como esque funciona . Mil gracias y seguire viendontus videos
Esta conectada a una manguera de agua normal
TLDW.... It's super!..... Super high quality Super durable Super easy...(Repeat x10)
Can you use this with a mobile water tank without a pump, if you have a video for this please attach the link to this comment. Thanks for all the great content. I'm going to start a mobile detailing business in the spring of this year. I've learned so much from you, and I will be using all of your affiliate links for my chemicals. A gain thanks so much.
What do you think about the snap on portable spotter is it worth it ?
Super video
Just FYI, I bought from your link that went to rip clean. Placed order on the 9/9/23, apparently they sell like if in stock, even though they didn't have all parts to complete orders due to "shipping delays" to ripclean. So far I feel like nothing is going to arrive. No emails even confirming order has shipped. If I cancel this order, do you have other links to suggest?
Spray extractor solution. Use drill and brush. Then use Bissell Spot Clean Pro to suck it up. How does this go head to head with the Mytee Lite 8070 when there is no heater?
The vacuum suction on the Rigid is much more powerful than the Spot Clean Pro. The Spot Clean Pro leaves a bit to be desired on the final suction, there's more water left behind making for longer drying times. Also the atomization of the water on the Bissel is not as fine as the Mytee/this extractor head(based on this video).
SUPER video
Can I hook the hose up to the kitchen faucet and use hot water? My wife and I wanna clean the couches and chairs
How long does it take for the seats to dry? Will they be wet after the wash?
Great video man, i had to play at ½ speed, man you can talk fast 😂
Only reason I don’t wanna do this set up is becuase it’s most cold water hooked up . I’d like hot water when extracting. Just my preference:)
question...if im mobil and dont have access to a faucet - i dont think the free flow connector to my water tank will offer enough pressure to the extractors spray nozzle... any way around this??????
would you still be able to use this as a regular vacuum too????
Do you have to buy one for dry and one for wet? Or just switch?
I am trying to buy your exact setup but it says that the better extractor hose is 2-1/2 inch in diameter and the 4 gallon rigid takes 1.875 inch vacuum hose. how were you able to use this vacuum machine? is there an adapter or am i missing something?
i have a specific question.. do i need an adapter for this vacuum and vacuum hose? the vacuum has a 1 7/8 inch inlet but the website for the hose kit says it only works with 2.5 inch vacuum inlet.
So whats better the diy way with the mytee upholstery tool or the ripclean kit?
I just looked at the link for the extractor kit and Amazon says it's currently unavailable and they can't say if or when they are going to be able to get it back in stock.
Could you build this with the 3 gallon nxt ridgid vac
Will the extractor head fit on the orange "pro accessory" hose in the Rigid kit? The one you have to buy separate from the vac. Amazon is over 30 bucks more than H.D. and I got the shop vac with 2 bags for free for $80. The accessory kit was $50, but I can't explain why they don't include the orange hose with the vac. I use mine almost every day (auto detailer), so the black one might last a month if that's all I had.
I have that orange hose as well. Do you know if it connects ?
I don't know, I was asking too. The black one that comes with the vac is different on the accessory end and has a bunch of I guess adapters, but I only use the orange one. However, you can attach the original black one to your exhaust port and it will muffle the sound of the vac to wherever you point it. I was thinking of cutting it and putting a foam insert in it, which is basically what the sound dampeners are that you pay more for. I don't know why they don't just sell the orange hose with the vac to begin with. I'm a mobile auto detailer and while I don't use the black one, it's so fragile I would have probably broken it by now. The orange one can stand being pulled and stepped on, but the back one probably wouldn't. Quick update. From looking again, it looks like he removed the accessory end from the hose, leaving it naked. Since that original black plastic head piece comes off of the orange hose by turning clockwise (not counter-clockwise), you remove that and then screw on the extractor head. At least that's what it looks like to me. It appears his gray hose is the same as our orange one.@@ADHDKING
@@floridaredneck awesome. Thanks very much as I thought it looked the same as well. Worth a try but thanks for the extra details . Agree they should just come with the orange hose make no sense to why ridgid would risk setting their good vacuums reputation to gain a few bucks on a cheap accessory. I have lots of Ridgid stuff but some things they do make no sense. It’s like making the perfect expensive steak but give rotten salad to save a few bucks and ruin the whole meal. lol my thoughts on that
You're hilarious. You had me thinking so many comparisons for cheap shit they do sometimes with everything. I was thinking of a Mercedes riding on inner tubes because they were too cheap to add the tires, or what if Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa on wallpaper? I mean you had me going and I'm with ya....lol Well, after that good steak, let's just hope desert makes up for that shit salad!
So can I still use the vacuum as a vacuum or?
Hi I seen one of your videos that u said to to a dry shampoo with a cleaner that onces it drys it crystallizes and then you can vacuum. I can’t find the video. Can u let me know the name or link me video
I think if you have the Mytee , you could have just reused the Mytee head and water line. Just need to find the adaptor to connect the water line.
I am a mobile detailer and I carry my own water I use a 8.0 honda gas power pressure washer I don't have a hose connection it won't work for me and second it uses water that has minerals so it won't dry clean it might leave behind water stain but other than that its a good idea but not for me I prefer my mytee extractor
And if u buy a second rigid vac you have redundancy for both a vac and extractor. Nice
Super
the ridgid vacuum cleaner is super loud and noisy. It's not suitable for residential usage. Is there a solution to reduce the noise?
try using the 16 gallon 6.5 hp ridgid nxt.... its the power of 5 of your 4 gallon units
what if you just sprayed the seat down, attached a brush to a drill and then used the rigid shop vac to suck up all the wet gunk from the seat, would that do the same thing as an extractor?
Nope. It doesn’t work well like that. It’s too dry, you won’t vacuum enough liquid. You need to spray water the way the extractor does for it to work.
Cool
im sure you could attach it to a normal sink that offers hot water as well
Can you ? That’s what I’m trying to figure out before buying
@@tylyd5439 have not done it but I'm almost 100% sure it can be done maybe some fabrication but should be possible
Same video, still dope. But your affiliate link for the extractor head, & one in ur video are Two Different ones.
You can just use an old sock as a shop vac wet filter.
200 IQ detailer
I don’t see the link to buy the extractor kit
A good job brother but I will go with fabric ties because the concerned that maybe you want the crotch the inside of the car or the paint when you try to pull it up inside of the car so just be careful thank you
Why not downsize from 8070 to S-300h? I get budget and all but if weight is concern, 300 weighs in at 25lbs.
If I was to put the house in a bucket of water will it still draw it to the head?
Suuuuuupppppeeer!😂
For the mobile guys with gravity fed set ups they will need transfer pumps to convert their rigid to a extractor
What transfer pump do you recommend?
110V Instant Electric Water Heater - Perfect for Sink Washing, Heats Up in Seconds!
what if you have a 12 gallon rigid vacuum.
I'm still confused by the description with all the links because I don't know which is necessary when you link items more than once so I don't even know what I necessarily need or don't
Turning a shop vac to extract, I assume I will need another to vacuum...?
How do you know when the containers full of water
The motor will sound different when full
Sandia extractor kit is over $300. A lot more cost effective to purchase parts and do it yourself. Numerous videos with part list and instructions.
Why not wrap the water hose around the suction hose to save having the coil
Wrapping the water hose around the suction hose means you lose reach.
would this not work with a craftsman or any other shop vac?
no, has to be rigid or your whole family will perish
