what is the best glue/contact cement i can use so my air logic nozzle that threads onto a vacuum hose doesnt come loose in a bay? I've tried everything and after a few days it gets loose and sometimes falls off the vacuum hose. Any suggestions?
 
I've tried glue (JB Weld, plastic formula) but then it made it difficult to replace the nozzle down the road. Now I use a 3" long, narrow machine screw (10-24 with a cap nut). Drill through the cuff & hose. Insert screw & tighten cap nut. You can also use a little Loc-Tite (removable style).

I use stainless steel sheet metal screws to secure my nozzle to the hose. If you really want to glue it I found that the clear silicone bathroom tub and tile caulking works really well in the car wash environment.
 
I've used goop or similar contact cement and it seems to hold up ok. I tape it on with painters tape until the cement dries, then remove it.
