This has become my favourite detailing channel on UA-cam not only because you are in Canada but because I always learn many new tips and tricks whether it’s for efficiency or to save money. 1. I’m so happy to have found an alternative to the Ridgid filters they sell because as you said they are a bit pricey, so I’m glad I now have a cheaper option. 2. I have the bissel extractor myself but I did not know purchasing the head on its own would fit the Ridgid hose which is another great thing to know 3. I was looking into a filter cover to help minimize debris entering the slits and clogging up airflow but it’s good to know what to look for if that’s something I’m still wanting to purchase in the future. Simple, yet fantastic video. I learned 3 things in under 7 minutes that I didn’t know before this video and its channels like yours that deserve all the recognition. Thanks man
Many Thanks! If you are using the OEM dry filter, it’s not advised to washing it as it’s paper material. If you purchase the Amazon dry filter then you can wash it with water only and let it air dry. The aftermarket filters are washable but the oem are not.
I do more mobile detailing so I carry two types of vacuums under the Rigid brand. I use both cordless and cord models. Going cordless has been my game changer and using an air blow out tool to speeding up the cleaning process. I only break out the cord vacuum when I have allot of work an I can’t use the cordless on with so many vehicles. The cordless vacuum I wish I could downsize to something far smaller to the cord model in this video. Hopefully Rigid is working on a cordless version.
The best vacuum HANDS DOWN!!!! I thought it for years, but make sure that you buy a model with the higher horsepower because they make one that’s cheaper now. It sucks blows wet dry it’s I’ve used it as a blower. It’s amazing I’ve had a thing for 10 years easy maybe 15 I had to paint it so beat. It still hasn’t broken anything yet I recommend upgrading to the professional hoes like he has.
Purchased Rigid WD4070 at Home Depot and the Detailing Kit. Also, used a Pool Skimmer Sock(s) to prevent debris clogging the Dry Filter. Utilizing the Rigid Detail Kit hose which is really nice, you do get reduced suction with the 1-1/4 inch hose. I decided to purchase the Craftsman's 1 1/4 crevice attachment/tool because if you get flexing the long crevice tool from the Rigid Detailing Kit it will split aka break. The best thing your are actually getting from the Detailing Kit is the Hose!!! at a high cost about $55. Wow! that is an expensive hose, wished it was another foot longer. There are no 1-1/4 extension wands with the kit but they cost $10 each for a 20 inch length at Home Depot. The WD4070 noise level is Twice as loud than the Hoover Wind Tunnel 3 Max Performance Upright Vacuum Cleaner. If running the WD4070 for more than 5 minutes, I recommend wearing ear plugs and keeping children away. 5HP is good, but with the extension wands or longer hose a 6HP would be better. I did consider the WD4522 Tool Box shaped wet-dry vac but did not like that the Exhaust/Blower was on the same side as the Suction/Intake. Make or Buy the Rigid Diffuser for the Blower Port so the particles you are vacuuming up don't spread-blow all over the place making a mess. I would also change out the Power Toggle Switch to a Push Button switch. As for the WD4070, just set it inside a box and never worry about is rolling around or bumping into the car, you can even use the original shipping box it came in but need to cut a hole for the hose. LOL. Maybe make small home made wheel chocks. Change the front casters and get ones with a Wheel Lock. With the WD4522 could make a small dolly cart, now it is on wheels when you need it to be. Truth of the matter, I am a bit disappointed with the performance and quality of the WD4070 and more so with the cost of the Rigid Detailing Kit. In regards to the Rigid Life Time Warranty ... do not expect much as you need to prove the Motor, Power Switch, or Plastic Clamps are a Manufacturing Defect. Rigid "Limited" Life Time Warranty is not very good. Possible Craftsman is better or at least may honor their warranty. The WD4070 is not a true 4 Gallon Wet Vac. as somewhere between 2 to 2 1/2 Gallons before the float cuts off the vac. If you are a beginner Mobile Auto Detailer, get yourself a portable Battery Powered Wet-Dry Vac maybe like the 1 or 3 Gallon 5HP Ryobi or the Milwaukee. Beware that batteries are expensive especially for 8aH battery and they may fail. Take at least a minimum of Four 4aH rechargeable batteries on the road. An Auto Detailing Business is a lot of work and equipment/tools are expensive plus all the car care products add up. Don't forget those 24 to 100 plus high grade Microfiber Towels you will be using and dirtying in a week or 2. You will need to advertise, network, and use the Internet or Social Media to gain your Cliental. Practice and Training is no simple task. No one has ever become a Pro overnight, let alone wealthy unless hit the Jackpot or inherited the money.

I’ve been using the same unit for years and it’s still working like new. Definitely worth the purchase, the hose upgrade is a must.

@detailprojects quick question, it’s possible to clean the dry filter using water? Just let air dry? TIA
Many Thanks! If you are using the OEM dry filter, it’s not advised to washing it as it’s paper material. If you purchase the Amazon dry filter then you can wash it with water only and let it air dry. The aftermarket filters are washable but the oem are not.
The best review on this product and thank you for not making this video 30 minutes long

Why not the Ridgid nxt why not the NXT 53L it’s bigger and comes with the detailers hose kit
I have the same kit and I added the AIR-TIP Long Reach Flexible Micro Hose Set from Milwaukee to help with hard-to-reach spots.
Same here lol. I got the exact same setup and tested on a super dog hair covered rug as well as nasty baseboards and it worked quite well.
Good morning. Do they still have this model with the wheels?
Yes they do!
Dont you all feel that with this smaller hose its sucking worse, significantly worse...
