CONVERT A SHOP VAC TO A PROFESSIONAL EXTRACTOR

Everything you need to convert your shop vac into a professional extractor. I have had my Ridgid portable Vac for a long time and have been asked this question a million times. Can you use a shop vac to extract carpet during auto detailing. The answer is yes kind of. In order to extract a carpet or interior fabrics effectively you need a water source to lightly spray the fabric while you vacuum it out. This water is sprayed in a precise area and amount based on the conditions. You need to be able to see what is being removed from the fabric through the clear viewing area on the extractor handle. This view tells you if the fabric still has either dirt or soap still in it and you can decide how much longer to continue in that spot. The attachment and the water spraying ability will make or break the process. I decided after watching a few videos and doing some research that it would be a great plan to convert my shop vac to have this ability. With the proper fittings and products your shop vac can be easily converted to a very usable auto detailing extractor or carpet spot cleaner. I have listed below all the parts and accessories that you will need to complete this project. This is a great auto detailing extractor kit that I like a lot. If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments. Thanks for watching and I hope you consider subscribing to my channel.
