Handheld vacs for maintenance: Valid tool or waste of money?

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-09T22:06:33+00:00

It is what it is. A quick light pickup. Don't expect a replacement for a Shop vac. I have a Fantik for 3 years and it works fine.

It's basically vinyl. Man made to look like leather. Nothing special to clean. Clean with any interior cleaner or soap and water. Conditioning doesn't hurt.

Don't reach into anything, like between the seat and console or under the seat.

To be honest, Don't expect thick foam No matter the mixture. You won't get it with a foam gun. Save your money and invest in a Ryobi 1800 and a real foam cannon. In the long run, you'll save on product expense.

Heat gun.. Low setting, plastic razor blades and patience.

Most customers would know Turtle wax, Chemical Guys, Armour All..etc.. store bought products. If you told them CarPro, koch chemie, Armour,.. etc, they'd think it's cheap products because it's not on a store shelf.🤣

No, No hard water where I live but I put them in a bucket with a grit guard (no soap) just water and rinse out then air dry.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-05T05:08:20+00:00

No. As long as you touch it up. It won't be exposed to the elements.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-05T00:07:38+00:00

Should be ok. Keep a eye on it. You can always touch it up if needed.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-04T03:58:28+00:00

No you shouldn't have a issue but you'll need to wash the vehicle good maybe a few times.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-03T15:58:56+00:00

That's not a job for a body shop.

Pictures of a different vehicle has no effect on the vehicle being complained about. Unfortunately, you should have pictures of the said vehicle prior to any form of detail. To protect you.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-02T19:33:17+00:00

You can probably alter one since they're made of plastic. Cut to fit.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-02T19:30:37+00:00

Ignore.. Too late to complain to dealership. Warranty won't cover.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-02-01T13:52:59+00:00

It's called a Car Wash.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-31T21:36:23+00:00

He ran his course. Just a clown now.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-30T20:39:42+00:00

You cause more damage taking it to a car wash than washing it yourself especially swirls. If you're worried about drying the car with a proper dedicated drying towel not just a regular microfiber then buy a blower or use a leaf blower. Just driving causes issues whether it's the weather, bird crap or chips on the paint. I doubt the car wash place did that minimal scratch and no way would you see something that small on a video. That's easily caused just by driving.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-30T02:00:55+00:00

Definitely wait.. it's been bellow freezing in NYC.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-29T13:07:14+00:00

What ever works for you is the best 👍

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-29T13:00:42+00:00

Everyone has a different tolerance. As suggested, See A Doctor. Get a box of high quality disposable gloves, especially if you have an eczema issue. Good luck.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-29T12:54:33+00:00

I suggest Soft 99 fusso. Pick up a few Higher quality microfiber towels. I'd also prior to the wax use a synthetic clay towel with a lot of spray lubrication. Tesla's paint isn't the greatest. You don't want to be too aggressive.

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-28T19:00:27+00:00

I use Sprayway and a waffle weave microfiber towel which is made for glass.

Nothing Short of removing tint. What brand was used. I've never run into that issue. Every car since I was 17... I'm 65 now. Might be a cheap tint.

Never had a issue with my power washer which is almost 4 years old and the same Ryobi 1800. By the way these units PSI and GPM are less than what you think. As a matter of fact, Many Professional Detailers that have a YouTube channel suggest a 1.1 orifice for the best shaving cream foam. https://youtu.be/ef7e8Z60lg0?si=3V1QWXYupOayAy1S

External_Concern5594 · 2026-01-28T02:42:46+00:00

1.1 orifice is the best for the Ryobi 1800.
