Ive always used 6mm just easier to work with, although using 8mm might leave a  far better shine on the windows.

Yeah far better shine with 6mm the hose is the key eh 😂 if you use 6mm you can let you’re water go up to 100ppm without any problems too lol

I moved from 8mm to 6mm about 6 months ago...

With 6mm you can get more hose onto your reel - also I've found that 6mm snags less than 8mm.

6mm all the way as the above.  Much lighter to use and less snagging.  Puts a little more pressure on the pump but nothing to worry about

6mm every time 8mm uses to much water and is harder to manage pluss if you deside to use a power up reel you cant use 8mm any way unless u use 50m

ID Herman
Microbore = 6mm ID, Minibore = 8mm ID and garden hose = 12/13mm or 1/2" ID.
