    I have a Vapamore MR-100....had it for five years....zero issues. I can see that a smaller one would also come in handy

    Been using the Ridgid cordless 9 gallon vacuum, ( already in the platform so why not), for a couple years and with the 14' hose it does a great job. the best part is no power cord, so can use it anywhere!

    I’ll second on the Incredipole. I like the ease of length adjustment and the mitt is easy to clean up, although thinking about it now, I may have to see if I can purchase just a mitt, mine is getting a bit shaggy.

    I've often thought that I don't always need to do a full detail every week, but somehow I still do it. This looks like a good solution for maintenance washes though. What is your opinion of Adams products?

    Ok good to hear. I was looking into several product lines to streamline my buying and it was either Adams or P&S. Your recommendation means a lot. Appreciate it.

    I just had my truck done with ceramic and I already have a good pressure washer but I need a good blower. Any recommendation?

    Personally, I use an Air Cannon and super nice mf drying towels. I usually blow off the car with the air cannon and then a quick wipe down. The air cannon is super handy on the wheels, and all of the cracks.
