Using the 3 Gallon and 4 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacs for Auto Detailing

  • Pre-Cleaning Prep: Remove all large debris and trash from your car’s interior. This helps in focusing the vacuum on picking up smaller dirt particles more effectively.
  • Start from the Top: Begin vacuuming from the top of the car’s interior and work your way down. This ensures that any dust and debris that falls will be picked up as you progress.
  • Detail Attachments: Use the crevice tool for those tight spaces between seats and the dusting brush for delicate surfaces like dashboards and vents.
  • Wet Cleaning: Switch to wet mode to handle spills and damp surfaces. The HD0318 is perfect for quick liquid pickups, while the WD4070 can manage spills with ease.
  • Regular Maintenance: Keep your vacuum in top condition by regularly cleaning and replacing filters and ensuring there are no blockages in the hose for optimal performance. RIDGID offers different replacement filters for your various cleanup needs.

Whether you’re a professional detailer or a car enthusiast who loves keeping your ride in pristine condition, adding RIDGID’s HD0318 and WD4070 Wet/Dry Vacs to your arsenal is beneficial. These vacuums combine portability, power, and performance, ensuring your vehicle looks its best inside and out.
