Sell them to someone else, buy a couple buckets and pocket the change.

It's alot less mess then using no hoses at all.

Your right but you still need the water to neutralize the brake fluid.

so i guess the question is kinda like this...

do you prefer to wash your car using a garbage can as a wash bucket, or prefer to wash your car with a nice griot's wash bucket with gritguard built-in, and casters, along with all the coolness?

bascially the same results, only difference is in the overall experience.
