how long is the pressure hose on your detail tool?
I know the standard is around one foot but have seen some much longer.
when I do auto detailing I have to be careful not to scratch the damn car with my QD.

Having a 1 ft. whip-hose on your upholstery tool makes no sense at all. It adds an extra pound of brass that you must carry in your hand all day. But the larger concern is taht it's swinging back and forth bumping and hitting everything that gets in its way...a large potential for damage.
The manufacturer sends them to us with 1 ft. whips. Goes to show that some manufacturers have never cleaned upholstery.
We automatically replaced it with a 12 ft. whip and of course had to put the price up to cover the additional costs.
Guess what?
Sales of tools went down dramatically because our competitors had a better price. We had a better, lighter and safer tool but they had a better price. I guess you win nightrider...price, price, price is what sells in our industry. But, for those who are paying damage claims we can sell them a large whip and hose and solve all.
P.S.
The Hide-a-Hose is also the partial answer but you must understand that the vacuum air is rushing back over the solution hose drastically reducing the heat of the cleaning and we at Kleen Kuip are big advocates of cleaning upholstery at extreme high heat. As long as you are using an upholstery tool and not a stair tool.

I did an upholstery demo today at a seniors home with a lot of wood on the arms of the chairs. A competitor was there before me also doing a demo. They asked why he made so many nicks in the varnish.
Answer
He was cleaning upholstery with a one foot whip. If he would have spent the extra money on a longer whip hose I would not be making this post and he would have the sale. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |

Ted does not have a CC Company, those days are way behind me. I was attempting to sell a Ninja to a seniors home. Maybe the barder system is not a bad idea nightrider. But, if they don't buy I will certainly put them on to one of my customers. The point is that many so-called professional cleaners (by cutting corners) use incorrect tools and many times do more damage than good. They called http://www.kleenkuip.com/ - KK and inquired about doing in-house cleaning because their cleaner with a truckmount could not remove the spots and stains. With the right tool and product it was a cakewalk.

12 is a nice even number and works well, especially in cleaning car interiors. P.S.
It's poor workmanship that keeps companies like mine in business. Responding to companies who are fed up with carpet cleaners who promise much and give little or less.
