Which water hose is the best

**chosenone** · 01-02-2013, 12:53 PM

I was wondering is there any special water hose out there to buy that will make detailing easier. I have a hose right now from Costco and it so rigid that is almost impossible to roll up and hard to work with. I know there are a lot of hoses out there to buy at the garden section but was wondering if there was any detailers favorites? I am talking about a normal hose to hook up to faucet for rinsing.

Good hose just leave in the sun to uncoil and break when new for awhile after it will,roll up easy. This is the heavy duty one, but the green one is fine for car washing, the one in the link is for like construction, a bit of overkill

IMO goodyear rubber hoses are the best. Stay away from plastic hoses they suck big time, stay with rubber regardless of the brand it will probable cost double compared to plastic but it is worth it..

I'm a Goodyear Rubber Hose fan as well. I've had (2) 50' hoses that I bought at HoDe about 6 years ago that are still like the first day I used them. Lifetime Warranty too.
