NEW Auto Car Care Wash Wax Polish Buff Water Hose Guide: eBay Motors (item 140459485610 end time Nov-27-10 07:10:25 PST)

 

If you can't wash your car without this device, you probably need professional supervision.

 

well i was thinking more for electric cords

 

I like it. Thanks. Hopefully better than the ones they sell on Autogeek.

 

mmmm yes, a triangle frame connect thingy and 3 tubes
I definitely could make it out of toilet rolls too

 

i want a set of the dodo yellow cup ones, but im not sure how well they work

im sick of pulling the hose around the car and having it get wedged under the tyres

 

Great idea. Is it necessary? No. But I get the water hose caught all the time. Few bucks in PVC piping from HD I think is well worth the aggravation saved.

 

ill might have to improve the idea to make sure its good for electric hose becouse it looks like it would still get stuck

 

18.99 for 13 cents worth of pvc and glue. priceless clever solution though

 

Wait, what's wrong with the Hose Catcher/Blocker that PAC and AG sell? They seem like they would work really well but I haven't bothered to purchase yet.

 

Nothing!! they do work when I feel like using them

 

LOL. Tough crowd.

BTW, There are other similar substitutes. If you have wheel chocks, they may work for a similar purpose.

 

it's all about mass producing it at a fraction of the cost

 

My dad would think I was retarded to buy that overpriced triangle. $10 and a trip to Lowes/HD builds you four of these

 

I think I have seen someone on the boards make a couple out of used plastic milk jugs.

 

I have seen something like a large concave dog bowl cut in half.

 

That is what I have, got them on the really cheap from someone on here..for the price i paid they are ok...less aggravation of hose getting caught and extension cords when polishing or drying the car.

 

LOL $28.99 for a couple bucks in PVC... Great idea though, I bet i even have the stuff in the garage to whip up a couple of these.

 

The same thing could be said about wax - $100+ for a couple bucks in wax & oil.
Marketing is a brilliant thing.
