    SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    Not at all, the standard hose is 5/16” inside diameter adding 1/16” to the inside diameter will not make a major difference at all. Works great with my MTM Foam Cannons. Note: I also use a mosmatic swivel. MTM Gun, mosmatic wand, 4.0 nozzle

    Lights for garage

    You definitely need more overall light in the garage, I highly recommend led's 6500K. Then I would get a light stand to hold two led flood lights to focus on the area you are working on correcting. If possible it would also help if you could epoxy coat the floor or use Swiss tray to help...
