    If you dip the plastic hose end in a cup of hot water, it becomes more maleable & easier to fit

    Another quality production. Great ideas that are simple and cheap to do but effective.

    Good effort to adapt the vacume. But May as well go out and buy the George that does it all. 🌼

    I found that the hose and the trigger washing attachment were the same size, I small length of 32mm pipe from my plumbing spares was a tight fit

    Hi. I'm only 4 mins in and I see you are struggling to put the hose on I recommend lining the hose or the metal bit with some applicator or washing up liquid to slide the pipe on

    unsure if you still use this channel atall, I know you dont post, but when changing over from using this as a wet vac to suck up dry material did you find the hose/filter/inside got clogged up with dust? was you having to use two separate hoses?

      Hey Dave! I e just had new tyres and had my wheels powder coated! What is the best way to clean and maintain that awesome glossy finish?

    • @DetailingandtheBeast
      @DetailingandtheBeast  5 лет назад +1

      A ceramic coat would ultimately be the best thing to apply. If that's a step too far (and it is for a lot of people so no issue) then something like a high temperature wheel wax would be best. I'm not specifying a specific product because there are a few but... for a starter look at EZ car care RIMS.

    If you put the end couple of inches of pipe into a mug of very hot water for a bit you’ll find it slips on easy.

    you should of put the flexi suction hose straight onto the new fishtail rather that make a coupling. it might make it easer to work with to with it being smaller.... maybe another vid ??

      Ah but that is really tight, and this way its disconnectable quickly. Admittedly it was a right job to get it right but now it's done, it really is easy to setup and use. 👍

    Looks good u was looking at getting a vax wet vac but I like my titan Hoover. So am tempted to do wot u did at not an expensive cost either. Did u make it so u can take the wet vac off and just use it as normal Hoover as well. Thanks
