Agreed! Who knows what harsh water issues this has (probably city water). I don't recommend using these at all. Consider investing $ into some simple tools from the video above.Will make all the difference.

You know, you could always go to your parent's house and wash your car. You could do theirs too for allowing you to use their garage. If not, find a friend who has a garage and you could both do your cars on the same day. Surely there's ONE person in your life with access to a garage.
