If I need to keep both hoses I will.
    Look around on amazon for the diffrent adaptors

    Re: Ridgid Auto Detailing Kit

    I have the same hose kit and vacuum. It took me a bit to figure out how to make the wide / fan attachment fit. Everything but the wide / fan attachment fit perfect to the hose end, use the soft flexible rubber adapter which is wide on one end and narrower on the other on that fan attachment, then connect both to the hose end. It allows the wide / fan attachment to swivel too.

    If you try an put the fan attachment directly on the end of the hose it keeps working its way off, which is a real PIA.

What attachment did you want to use that is not available with the auto detailing kit?
