Default Car washing

Went to Walmart last Saturday and thought I'd get one of those hose/brush
attachments for washing cars. Found only one, with a whirling brush. No
price. Found a place to scan it. $25!!!! Back to a bucket of soapy water, a
sponge and a hose.

They still make them.

Have you tried an auto parts store or Home Deposit or Lowes ?

Your best solution is with the sponge and hose. If you value the paint
job on your car, then I suggest not to use those brushes, whirling or not.

Why get wet washing a car when you could be in listening to the Million
Dollar Quartet?

Give a 4-year-old a garden sprayer with soapy water, a garden sprayer
with fresh water, a microfiber cloth, and a stepladder. She'll be
fascinated. Encourage her by going out occasionally to offer criticism.
No mess, no wasted water and soap, and music that proves Elvis wasn't
just a buffoon.
