Detailing lesson to be learned here?

I have both the 4 gallon & 16 gallon Ridgid vacuums, and it’s always a PITA to have to move the 16 gallon Ridgid over to the drivers side when doing some vehicles. Even moving the small one sucks, because my 50’ extension cord bearly reaches the drivers side of my driveway. [I keep the cord on my vacuums zip tied, so I’m usually limited to where my extension cord can reach]

This is why I’ve been looking at the EGO vac. I’ve got a ton of EGO lawn equipment so I don’t need to pay for batteries and can get the tool only for a decent price. My Ridgid works perfectly fine but the convenience of cordless is tempting. I hate having to plug in my vac and then getting out the extension cord.

I hate when you’re trying to move it and it gets unplugged. Happens all the time.

For the longest time I resisted a cordless shop vac. I have two corded ones and thought it was silly. But I had a fire in my pocket and went for it. It's been very handy. The corded ones sit on the shelf.

Which model did you get?

I Move the vacuum because I hate dealing with/pulling hoses with a passion that exceeds the fire of a thousand suns.

Generally I'm just vacuuming with a small handheld portable that we got from a bank promotion back in 1989 :D

Would love to get one of these cordless hand vacs from MetroVac but a little pricey for the amount of light vacuuming I do; small but the thing has some awesome suction.

Your avatar reminds me of Leo Moracchioli.

🤣 Leo is certainly an interesting guy…well rounded when it comes to playing instruments.

I went on a huge Leo kick some years ago and I think I burnt myself out on the metal cover stuff. Now I can’t stand it. About the only thing I like from his now is the Hello cover from Adele, but his musical ability is amazing. Every instrument he plays, he plays it amazing.

Pretty much the same…found him on YT a couple of years ago, seemed fresh & unique for a while but in the end, grew stale after a bit. Kinda like a Subie WRX I bought in 2016 😳
 
I start in the back and work forward
I also tend to find the passenger areas dirter (especially spills) than the drivers.
You can't have nothing nice...

Nah…just a base WRX. Figr’d it might be fun year-round driver. Traded in a ‘13 Mustang GT Track-Pak on it. Miss the Mustang…

Seemed like a good idea at the time. 😕

If it had been a STi though….. oh man… that would have been fun.

I love the taillights on those year mustangs but I hate the front end. If I could get the tail lights from a 13 on say a 2020.. that’d be it right there.

2013-14 was peak Mustang imo. Classic look still, while tastefully modern. 2013 Boss 302s were my second choice. While the 550 and 650s are more capable, they feel entirely different because of the IRS. That Ford 8.8 transports you back to simpler times. The Muscle Car Era.

I have yet to find a motor that sounds better than a Ford V8. Everyone raves about V10, V12, flat-plane crank, blah, blah, blah. Not for me! Our 1990 5.0 sounded great, the 2013 5.0 was killer with Bassani's on it and even the 2008 4.6 with Bassani was awesome.

Ford makes great sounding V-8's

My 7.3 Godzilla motor sounding like a nascar starting up. I love Ford V8’s sound.
I had the resonators and both mufflers cut from the exhaust on my F250 Godzilla. It was wicked on a cold start for sure.. then my buddy that has a ‘22 Silverado with the 5.3 cut his muffler off and you couldn’t even tell he done anything to it. So now we tell him he might as well bought an electric Silverado because they would sound the same. It’s hilarious. He gets so heated when we go hunting and we map out all the places that have EV charging along the way.

I need another Ford V8 in my life.

I detailed the interior of my nephews Camry not too long ago as a freebie because it was so disgusting that I couldn’t stand it anymore.. The passenger side had a sticky mess from soda spilling all over the carpet so I gave it quick extraction, it wasn’t perfect, but it was clean and a hell of alot better than before.

However he came out and the 1st thing he did was pick up his girlfriend while the carpet was still kinda damp and it didn’t even take half a day before there was a bunch of grass all over the carpet.


…Like why don’t people stomp their feet before getting into someones car, especially when they see it’s clean. Sheesh. Lol.

Thats the last freebee id be giving out. No appriciation for the hard work you put into it. Big reason i dont do family details. While they may appriciate it, its not appriciated enough that they will change their habbits. So i dont waste my time
