Vac Hose over car holder

[scout]

What are those things called that extend way up into the air over the car that hold the vac hose? You see them on outside vacs with some wing cloth attached for some color and show--These seem like a new idea---where is their a source?

This needs a better name I think-
180 Degree Self-Serve Vacuum

I got mine from Mosmatic:

But the curved ones from Sonnys seems to be better.
But be aware the vacuum hose could scratch the customers door/roof area.
I had this problem.

That looks like the boom on my air shamee----I see how it does drag over roof---it could scratch.

I covered part of the vacuum hose with a fleece sock. This prevents it from scratching. I tried a lot (leather, fabric, felt, etc.) but fleece is by far the best.
