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

    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.

    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?

    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 ??
