DIY Shop Vac Extractor: The EASIEST & CHEAPEST Way to do it!

[@theredscourge]

I bought an extractor tip on Amazon for $10, duct taped it to a shop vac, and filled a spray bottle. Slower but worked fine where it was needed

[@MirandaDetailing]

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@jerz732]

I attached a 1 gal pump spray on mine it works amazing

[@ICT_Anton]

You might try using a pump sprayer. It would be quicker and save your hand from squeezing a spray bottle 800 times. Just a thought

[@theredscourge]

@@ICT_Anton Good idea, I bought a pump sprayer since then too.

[@MirandaDetailing]

​​⁠oh yeah I have plenty of nice pump sprayers and even electric ones. This is just for demonstration purposes. Check out our other videos and you will see what we use on a daily basis.

[@yvesst-jacques3989]

That's exactly what I have, took both longest hose (water and vacuum) bought the entire kit and absolutely love it, and way cheaper than a professional one. 100% approved by the one I cleaned their car interiors 😉👍

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I can’t thank you enough for showing me that accessory kit because I use gas to heat up my water and it’s gonna be cheaper for me than electricity because my garage is at my home, the only thing I have to work on now is having hot water in my garage. Please keep up the great videos. And Sorry for any misspellings or grammar error

[@MirandaDetailing]

Awesome man! You’re welcome! 😎👍🏼

[@Slaw99223]

It’s a good start up set, I used this when I first started. Then upgraded to a professional extractor. Good video for the people starting up and don’t have $800-$1000 to buy a nice one

[@MirandaDetailing]

Definitely! That’s funny though. I have had this Myteelite 8070 for about 15 years now and I use this kit more than the Myteelite.

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

@@MirandaDetailing that may be partially due to the interior you’re cleaning is not heavily soiled so this kit makes perfect sense.

[@SHAWNSTER1969]

Wow technology thats amazing Phil what a really sweet alternative. Been playing catch up on todays and the last two vids as i had a death in the family. Your videos are exactly what i needed to relax de-stress all why learning. Thanks so much Appreciate You Phil!!

I bought the ripclean hose kit 2 years ago It works great and I did buy Velcro roll off Amazon. A little ways down.

[@MirandaDetailing]

[@detailworksautocare4865]

Good concept. It really comes down to time and efficiency, what price would an individual put on that is the real question. Great video and demonstration!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks

[@ICT_Anton]

​@@MirandaDetailing the pricing is what I was wondering about also. You spent a lot of time on that one floor matt. I know you were making a video, but it seemed like you had to make a lot of passes over it. Just curious how long a full carpet, seats,and floor mat cleaning should take and the ballpark you would charge for something like that... I do a lot of details just as a side hustle type thing , and I'm notoriously bad about not charging enough for my time. I guess a lot of that comes with experience in knowing how long things will take in the condition they're in.... Anyway thank you for the video,I will more than likely give this a shot. Maybe try to find a way to get a high temp hose and attach it to my steam cleaner 🤷🏼

[@MirandaDetailing]

@@ICT_Antonyou mean how much should one charge for a full interior? Well that comes down to your demographic and what Detailers typically charge for details. For us we don’t do just interiors anymore. We offer full details which include interior and exterior which start at $350. Also the majority of vehicles do not need full extraction on everything. We only use the extractor on areas that need it. We use the steamer and a good carpet/upholstery cleaner for everything else. No need to extract seats and carpets everywhere if it’s just small stains in certain spots. This is actually a safer way to derail because you are not getting everything wet unnecessarily. Check out our other interior detailing videos, I explain a lot of this also. Thanks for watching. 😎👍🏼

[@godowarus]

I have mine hooked up to a Dewalt stealthsonic 12 gallon wet/dry vac. Makes it a super quiet extractor 👍

[@Mdetailing]

Dear phil agai. Great video congratulations i love this idea, i hope will be available in Europe some day. Let me ask please your opinion. I have a simple wet vac. If i just put ,a similar nozzle like this ( plastic transparent) without using water from pipe or other source ( i dont like the water saturation on the cloth / carpets, can i use just the vac with the nozzle with no added water to.suck the dirt and the cleaner ( to some level) with some added moisture from my steamer ,or a small amount of water from mypump sprayer? You think will work to some degree accepting the limitations?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks for Yah you can use just the nozzle part on a vacuum. It should work fine.

[@chelsabailey1018]

Great video, Phil! Thanks for all of the research and info that you've shared. Question...I mistakenly left 1 of my passenger rear windows partially down and it rained. As a result, part of my back seat and the back of my passenger seat got wet. Should I extract the water, use microfiber towels to dry them or let them air dry? Please advise.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. I would definitely dry it with towel and extract as soon as possible. Then let the rest air dry with a fan or put in the sun.

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

This is great for a mobile detailer on a budget working with slightly stained or soiled interiors. Otherwise you’d have to go with a Mytee or a professional heater carpet extractor.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Yeah it’s great. I have a Myteelite 8070 and it’s awesome. But I find myself using this kit more than the Myteelite. It can definitely tackle heavily stained carpets and upholstery. Have you not had success with it on really bad stains?

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

@@MirandaDetailing it’s a great setup, interiors that are heavily stained or soiled I find I’d have to make too many passes and as a mobile dealer you know time is money. There’s certain situations where you need steam.

[@MirandaDetailing]

@@RodneyCooperFilmz oh yeah. I have a steamer also and sometimes need it. More for sticky stuff on hard surfaces.

[@loreshawhite2811]

@MirandaDetailing yes!! Because I will ONLY be doing interior NOT exterior so I will not have any water source. I will only be detailing big corporations so I will not have a water holes to connect to the shop vac . Is there another way I can get that water source?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Well it looks like you have to have a different setup to make sure you have a water source. There’s no other way around it. You need a water tank and on demand pump if you want to use this. Either that or just buy a regular Myteelite 8070 extractor.

If I’m doing mobile detailing How can I connect the waterline? Without having a waterholes?

Hi. What do you mean? If you’re mobile then what’s your water source?

[@BongLeach]

Instagram comments on a side by side test of a Hoover extractor vs a Hart wet vac with kit are on point. It's not really a fair test the way it's done. I'd really like to buy one but even the reviews on their website are not all that great.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Phil, is the water jet necessary as can prespray the water and still use the vacuum to remove?

[@MirandaDetailing]

The water pressure from the nozzle while simultaneously vacuuming is what really does the work. You could just spray and vac, but this nozzle is more effective.

[@SoCalSurfer69]

I wonder how well it would work on cleaning a cloth seats and a sofa for home use?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Not sure yet since I haven’t had a vehicle that needed it. But I have seen a lot of other videos on this kit and it was used on upholstery and worked really well.

[@Orabah]

Can i connect this to the kitchen faucet or bathroom faucet? I don't have got water in my garage

[@MirandaDetailing]

If you have a faucet that can attach to the garden sure. But think you need an adapter.

[@TKsMobileDetail]

I bought just the tool where can I find the pressure line that connects from the tool to the water line?

[@Detailguy101]

I thought about this, but then you lose your vacuum. Im currently experimenting with spray cleaner drill brush , steam extract with vac with clear nozzle to see what is removed.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Do your vacuuming first the dump into trash bag, then use with extraction kit. Or just buy another vacuum and only use the base drum, that is what I did.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Has anyone tried with just gravity feeding water?

Hi. I dont think it will work since the water line needs pressure to make it work. the pressure from a garden hose is sufficient. But anything less, it wont have the pressure to work.

Really? 1% 🤣 lots of houses have both hot and cold water piped into their garages. It’s not that uncommon. It’s a tankless water heater for our entire house that happens to be located in our garage. You can even get a small tankless water heater specifically plumbed for a garage, it’s very affordable.

$200 on the kit mind as well get a extractor less than $200.
