U need a vacuum cleaner with a MOTORIZED brush roller like a Royal/Dirt Devil hand-held vac (old style with cloth bag behind the vac NOT the current mdls) or a Electrolux Sidekick power nozzle (you'll need to connect the electric onto a special extension cord if using that accessory with a shop...

pardon the 'bump' but u can buy a bissell carpet & upholstery cleaning kit for wet/dry shop vacs; however since its obsolete most kits on ebay are most likely used & incomplete the ancient bissell shampooing kit (complete) came with: carpet/floor nozzle upholstery nozzle handle grip with...

yes i always wear a mask & nitrile gloves bcuz of my allergies; change them after every car detailed the blue dust masks like the ones sold at walgreens i'll have to buy a respirator/gas mask for heavy-duty detailing (polishing & whatever chemicals used)

should i go for the bissell powerlifter (aka big green, promax, dirt avenger) canister extractor? i saw a few bissell full-sized canister 'deep cleaners' on ebay but i havent decided whether to buy one or should i get something else like a thermax? i'm usually mobile & the water faucet may be...

I use ONLY 'free-wheeling' polisher on EVERY vehicle Forced rotation is TOO AGGRESSIVE, esp on luxury cars & new or newly repainted vehicles

The reason I wanted the Nextractor is because the Shop Vac Steam Team upholstery nozzle's clear 'lens' came apart (its glued onto the nozzle 'body' & the kit is old maybe 1980s/1990s) so the glue decayed over time & I had to tape the nozzle together. I might re-glue the nozzle asap; but don't...

Has anyone used a Nextractor? The vacuum hose connects onto most shop vacuums like Ridgid, Craftsman, Shop-Vac & others with 2½" diameter vac inlet How can shampoo be dispensed thru the water hose if its only 1 water hose & no shampoo tube? The only thing I know is it connects onto water...

Ridgid vac with shop vac steam team upholstery tool & water supply hose I just connect water supply hose connector directly onto hot water heater faucet At least I dont have 2 spend more $ on auto detailing equipment like I did several yrs ago (almost everything from shop vacuums to electric...

pic of compact/tristar vac with wessel werk power brush (its electric powered instead of powered by turbine; so the electric brush doesnt slow/ bog down like the turbo brush)

A Compact/TriStar canister vac (can be found at garage sales for <$40 maybe $15 tops) I sometimes use mine when I'm vacing my car because I use a motorized nozzle for carpeted floors & seats Gives my Ridgid shop vac a 'break' because the Ridgid doesn't have electric outlet for motorized brush...

I still have my shop vac steam team but i cant find the gel carpet cleaning formula anymore; so its only for rinsing with just water

Here's one that I often use; it doesn't slow down like other brushes I used to use & has 'WindTunnel Technology' (reduces dirt scattering instead of being picked up):dblthumb2: Not even thick carpet or fabric can slow this brush when its connected to a shop vac

I use my Ridgid Wet/Dry Vac & a upholstery/small area extraction nozzle & 50ft water hose (connects to faucet) like the old Shop Vac Steam Team or Bissell CM carpet cleaning machine. Nozzles & water hose can be found on the bay (most likely used since those items are long discontinued)

Are U using a turbo brush attachment (brush roller spins by a turbine powered by the vacuum cleaner's suction) They remove pet hair like there's no tomorrow; however U still need to clean out the turbine & brush roller for maximum efficiency It depends on the situation when it comes to tar &...

do u use a turbo brush nozzle? it'll remove hair from carpets much faster than a regular brush. downside is you'll need 2 clean out the turbine & brush roller bearings
