Using my new internal fit greenglide for my 2 inch titanium Mach 12 wand today and what a difference compared to the stock PMF glide. No more lock down but you can still feel the power of the vacuum. Not scientific but when I run the back of my hand over the carpet, it feels drier than it did before. No visible moisture on my hand. The only issue I have with theses titanium wands is the standard hose is too heavy for the wand. Makes it awkward to use. I do have a 15 foot length of a cheap single walled hose on my other truck that is light and flexible but can't find it anywhere. It's a thin, black, lightweight vacuum hose that is probably more appropriate for a shop vac than a truck mount but I find keeping it short prevents it from kinking or collapsing. Any idea where I can find more?

Those tapered whips are great for these Titanium wands, untill they kink..
Not looking for the tapered one. The one I have looks like the same material but is 2 inch all the way. I'm sure it would kink if I went beyond 15 feet but so far it's great. Might be a carwash vacuum hose.

What's the matter with 5 ft of a quality inch and a half portable hose?
That's fine if you want to use a 1.5 inch tool, which I do often. There are times when I want more vacuum power and that's when the 2 inch tools come out. I actually use 15 foot whips of 1.5 inch hose with without any issues.

Sounds like you need a better truckmount.
