    If you can't wash your car without this device, you probably need professional supervision.

    I like it. Thanks. Hopefully better than the ones they sell on Autogeek.

    i want a set of the dodo yellow cup ones, but im not sure how well they work

    im sick of pulling the hose around the car and having it get wedged under the tyres

    Great idea. Is it necessary? No. But I get the water hose caught all the time. Few bucks in PVC piping from HD I think is well worth the aggravation saved.

    ill might have to improve the idea to make sure its good for electric hose becouse it looks like it would still get stuck

    18.99 for 13 cents worth of pvc and glue. priceless clever solution though

    Wait, what's wrong with the Hose Catcher/Blocker that PAC and AG sell? They seem like they would work really well but I haven't bothered to purchase yet.

    LOL. Tough crowd.

    BTW, There are other similar substitutes. If you have wheel chocks, they may work for a similar purpose.

    it's all about mass producing it at a fraction of the cost

    My dad would think I was retarded to buy that overpriced triangle. $10 and a trip to Lowes/HD builds you four of these

    I think I have seen someone on the boards make a couple out of used plastic milk jugs.

    That is what I have, got them on the really cheap from someone on here..for the price i paid they are ok...less aggravation of hose getting caught and extension cords when polishing or drying the car.

    LOL $28.99 for a couple bucks in PVC... Great idea though, I bet i even have the stuff in the garage to whip up a couple of these.

    The same thing could be said about wax - $100+ for a couple bucks in wax & oil. :)
    Marketing is a brilliant thing.
