Porkanbeans,

How good is that Rigid Vac I see in the picture? Just what I'm looking for!

Thanks,
Jose

I've only been addicted for about 4 months so my "collection" isn't as out of control as some of the others I've seen.

This doesn't include the mf/applicator stash or the pc and supplies those are here:

I'd swear some of you are running a retail outlet !!

I hate having everything in the basement for winter! It looks so messy.
Not shown are MF's and rest of pads, boxes of brushes, terry towels ect.

It is a great vac for the price! has great suction and it is not too loud.

Mike: Your shop vac hose isn't coiled

J/k man, that garage shows your true passion for the fine details. I don't think anything is outta place! BTW: You have enough pads for every detailer in CT.

Everyone else, excellent setups as well. Nice to see how the rest do it

Thanks for the compliments all! The rims on my car are 17x9.5" Borbet Type T's. I have had them on since 4/2001.

There are some great collections here!! I too like to see how everyone else does "their thing".

TW85 HHI I bet you have the cleanest washer and dryer in SC!!

scottabir I see "the trinity" in your pic!! Do you have a preference of one machine over the other?? I have been thinking of getting a Cyclo to use for polishing duties.

I whole heartily abide by the "one product per pad" rule. Lot's o' products = lot's o' pads. I don't wash them either. I use them...kick them out with a nylon brush when done...then store them in the original bag with one end open. Once the pad reaches that "grundge" stage I chuck it.

Tim...I've seen bits and pieces (separate photos) of your collection and it has been impressive!! Do you have any photo's of the "whole lot"??

I find myself going to the rotary and cyclo the most. Most of my polishing is done by the cyclo. The PC is reserved for minivans that need carpet scrubbing (with the brush) and tight spots where the cyclo cant reach. I LOVE the DW849 though it is a true workhorse. It is heavy but you get used to it very fast.

If you buy the cyclo I dont think you will regret it. It takes a little getting used to for the first few times. I swear by it though. It makes polishing go a LOT faster than with the PC, if needed you can use more pressure without the bogging down like the PC.

mike, very nice collection. it looks like you are more of a seller than a user though.

and i wanna see ranney's collection.

You know, manufacturer's are probably looking at this thread laughing all the way to the bank.

As Scottabir said, It is a great vac. It comes with all you need, nothing extra to buy unless you like a really small crevice tool (which I bought). It is very powerful, and it works great as an extractor for carpet shampooing jobs. Not as noisy as the other shop vacs I've used either. The only downside is emptying the dirt and knocking the filter clean, but that pleasure comes with every shop vac.

It sells for a very reasonable price. If I can recall, I paid $100 for it.
