Comparing a $475 Aqua Pro Vac vs $1700 Mytee HP60 Heated Extractor | Pros and Cons of Each

How do you personally remove waxes and sealants from cars for paint prep before a correction? Can you also please make a video about how you track your revenue and expense in excel or Google sheets or however you personally do it to keep track of profit in your business?

[@grandfinish2364]

Thanks for taking the time to do it. I know how busy it is on location while trying to gather content. Kudos.

[@725niko]

This is 63 cfm vs 100cfm. About 37% More airflow from the mytee! For those of you that were curious. You could also go with the cheaper s300h tempo heated mytee and get similar airflow at 97 cfm at around $850 w/ a 1 gal tank

[@E85_STI]

What do you think about the Sandia? My little 2 gallon has the ametek motor 100cfm and a pretty good water lift. I don’t do a lot of detailing right now I bought it for just in case I need it. The thing is the mytee has a huge hose so it needs to have higher suction or two stage motor but let’s say a rug Dr that has a 5 ft hose it will suck more water up that the mytee but it’s a hassle to use due to such a short hose. The 7ft hose is about the length you want for the smaller machines like mine the Sandia 50-2000. If you look at the Kpa of some of the vacuums some have better motors than a higher end up you have to find them. My little cheap rug Dr has an ametek motor in it which is what the professional machines use.

I started watching your videos and bought the Aqua Pro vac and the McCollum steamer and it fit in my Camry. Had great results and had so many amazing results under my belt that now that I have a van and more success over time, I’m really not seeing the need to buy a Mytee. Thank you Oscar. This a very good point on the extractors .

Great perspective on using the Aqua Pro, if you don't have the demand for tons of interiors you don't "need" the Mytee. I have the Aqua Pro and it's been great for me, I may use steam at times to help loosen the stubborn stuff and the AP works great. When time really really matters and you are that busy, then the Mytee or other larger machine is definitely worth the investment.

[@altillman1448]

If your just starting out I would buy a Bissell Spot Clean Prp way before even the Aqua Pro Vac. When you can afford it couple it with a McCullough Steamer for adding heat to the cleaning process. Then pivot to bigger and more expensive as you go to enjoy the feature rich options an Aqua Pro and Mytee offer.

I filled the back of my truck bed after filling up the trailer pretty fast with a 5x8. So now moving the big items to a sled in the back of my truck to fit more on my trailer so I can also go trailer-less for quick washes. But best part is when I help dealerships out can go in hard with double everything and be able to leave to do more work dropping trailer there with my crew.

[@1kontrabida]

Base on experience i "try" to avoid hot or anything with heat on upholstery and car interior in general. You have to remember this things are put together using adhesive (mostly contact cement) from factory and threads and heat weakens these adhesive, which is why a lot of upholstery sag or fall apart during summer season than any other season. Invest your money on the highest water pull extractor you can afford at this time and ur chemicals and air dryers and if you wanna splurge a little bit a good ergonomic handle. And watch and learn hands on on how to do clean up and water extraction. Thats just my 2 cents.

[@shruglord9070]

how come high end extractors dont have brushes on the nozzle hose compared to consumer grade extractors? is it because the steam does the equivalent cleaning of a brush?

[@DetailGroove]

Professionally, you would agitate the fabric first then extract. The brushes on the more affordable units is more of a easy gimmick. If you're going to agitate, you're going to use an actual brush

[@peterrudy9207]

6:55 I has been said that one or all ? of the Bissel carpet extractors . Have a design flaw where the hose leaks / breaks at the point of connection to body . And all Bissel has siad / done is to tell you to buy a another one , NOT . If this is true best to not buy one .

[@DetailGroove]

If it fits within your budget it, go for it. It’s not made for commercial cleaning so the capabilities are very limited

[@user-so2rh9om6y]

I heard if you don't connect the hose to the storing tool and not hard on it should be fine

Ordering the Hp60 tomorrow after watching your videos with it

[@Adam-ds5uv]

I do side work for a used car lot which has 30 to 40 cars. With almost all cars coming from the auctions . i am trying to convince them to get the hp 60 spyder and the sapphire wand. For power, time saving labor, quicker drying times, durability, and being able to order parts in the future. From 1 to 10. 10 you completely agree. Spending 1700 plus 600 $2300 to cut down labor and detailing expenses would not only be more efficient but would also help sell cars. For me it is a no brainer. If you have another suggestion. I would like to hear it. They are one of the worst car lots i have ever dealt with. Quick vaccum and wash the outside. Unless it is a big major spot they want it sprayed with a spray bottle and wiped with a rag. Vacuuming this cars are aweful the more i vaccum the more sand comes to the surface.

[@e36singh]

hey what is the name of the upholstery wand that comes with the mytee hp60? i’m not talking about the sapphire wand. it looks like mytee updated the wand that comes with the hp60 and doesn’t look like the one you’re using. talking about the mytee clear wand with the brass water port and trigger

For what it's worth, I run the Bissel and Numatic fish tail head. On my workshop vacuum (Nilfisk). Both work quite well. But the palm goes entirely to the Bissel fish tail head. It's small, nimble and extremely effective removing every last drop of water. For car work I love the compact size. The Numatic although just slightly bigger is more cumbersome. Price wise they're pretty much the same. Notice I'm talking ONLY of the fish tail head! I'm not a pro user, just a heavy amateur user. ;-)

Chelsea from attention to detail KZbin channel, says she doesn't like using APC for interior cleaning, because it's hard on the carpet and seats, ie: dry and crusty. She likes to use Rocket Revive it. What's your take on this? I have a R33GTR that's 26 y/o and I don't wanna fuck up the nice seats. And for future clients with sports cars.

[@altillman1448]

Chelsea was using Bonnet Rocket (PH Neutral). She has switched to the same stuff @DetailedGroove uses now for their interiors...They start with Flex Cirtus Solv (High PH) then use Flex Ice (Low PH) as a rinse which neutralizes it. These are all expensive upfront powders that will last you a long time. For a more affordable alternative I use @SuperiorProducts Zap It Part Number C92-1. If you go to Oriellys you can get it prediluted RTU on the store shelf for around $7/32oz. bottle or behind the counter to order in full strength concentrate for $14/gallon with free shipping to the store.
