Gardena car wash system

[marlinspike]

The Mr. Clean thing got me thinking, anybody else ever use the Gardena car washing system? If you don't know Gardena is a German (well at least used to be German, I'm sure now most of the stuff is made in China or something) company that makes garden hoses and things like that. It's not just a hose but a hose system, where parts click on and all that business. They used to bring their car wash system to the US (I think we have the last two cases of soaps for it that are in America) but don't any more because of lack of demand. It's a brush on a stick (well it's nicely made, but that's the gist of it) that attaches to your hose (there is an adapter for regular hoses), and has a resevoir for their soap cakes in it. The water rushes by the soap cake, disolving it and it comes out the brush end. IIRC it did a pretty good job and didn't strip the wax any more than a good (P21S or Sonax) brand of car shampoo. We haven't used it for a few years since the brush has started to fall apart and the soap resevoir has cracked. I'm just curious if anybody else uses it.
