Car was brush with one-way valve
 
Does anyone remember those gadgets? I guess they're on Ebay - if you enter
the right search terms.

The brush has a a wide bit of tubing attached. Bottom of tube holds a
one-way valve. Dip tube in bucket of suds.

Shake up and down action "pumps" the suds uphill and into the soft brush.
Are they still made? TIA

Probably made by the same company that made valour cloths brushes you
pressed a trigger in the handle to reverse the direction. After a couple of
years the plastic cam system broke and shot the bits across the room. Then
there was the buttoneer, a bit like those tagging machines they use in shops
for security tags on clothes.

Anyone remember the Ktel record vacuum. I had one of those, if you took out
the silly foam pads and replaced them with carbon fibre brushes it worked
but as shipped all it did was charge the disc up to about 10000 volts so you
dropped it when you tried to pick it up!

Appear on TV shopping channels occasionally, I tried one years ago and it
was next to useless.

Yep, that's the one. I guess all the money went into Marketing and not the
product.

Pity, seemed like a good idea - no hosepipe, no electrics.

Guess again. The problem isnt what the money is spent on.

Problem is that it wont work well no matter
how much money is spent on it. Its a dud idea.

I remember K-tel from the early tv ads. Interesting history on wiki :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-tel

Records, non-stick pans, veg slicers etc., and still going strong in
N.America, UK and Aussie.

I'm surprised they're still earning on their back record catalogues from the
50s to 70s. I thought there was a time limit on royalties?

Agreed, thanks Jethro, Rod and all. Clearly not designed for the job.

I've order one of those 8 litre capacity, hand-pumped low pressure washers.
They're on Ebay, sub £20, free postage and come with a soft brush and
separate spray lance.

Ok, there's plenty of plastic bits to break but I'll happily settle for 2 -
3 years useage.
