I created a vacuum cleaner attachment to help with car detailing
I added the M3 gauge rings to my car an in doing so got some dust and lint in there. Every time I wipe up a fiber another is left behind.
So, I was brainstorming and thought about the little dental suction device. Obviously that's unrealistic ($$$) so I kinda forgot about it. But later, I came up with something. I found a small vinyl tube - 1/8" id and 3/16" od. I then got a brass barb fitting with an id the same as the tube. I had to heat the tube to get it over the barb. I did this so I didn't have a bottle neck at the fitting. Then, I threaded it into a 2" pvc cap (pick the size that fits your vacuum). I chose to make a gasket with some rubber sheet that goes in the cap, sealing the cap to the hose. The suction holds it in place. |

Use a MF cloth that doesn't have lint?

Necessity is the mother of invention. Red Neck engineering at its finest. Well done

Either way, as long as your method worked... you get an atta boy |
