    Mine is a busted ass scrubber that I can't seem to find an exact replacement...

    I use it on my grill, wheels, scrubbing bug guts off mirror caps, scrubbing undercarriage items like the sway bars, cross member badging, UCAs....

    I can’t replace the automatic drive thru car wash. It works great!

    Function before sparkle.
    Yesterday, I was washing the Tundra with my son. He said: “Dad, next time can’t you just use a sponge?”

    Irreplaceable.

    hmmm ...Water?


    An old 32oz spray bottle. I mix 10% Turtle Wax car wash soap to 90% distilled water and treat the bugs to an overnight shower. Gets 'em moving off my vehicle and down the drain much easier.

    Would they sell anything similar in a grocery store with all the dish care stuff? I could swear I've seen those for sale, maybe not?

    I actually bought the first set you posted - they're still brand new. Tried one of them and didn't like it. Too big.
