Washing product???

[Coopers ST]

Question for you guys,
i have a friend who was trying to explain a washing brush he had but can't remember what it was called. He said it had a brush, connected to a hose, that was connected to a valve you put into a bucket of water. When you moved the brush it created a vacuum and pulled water from the bucket to the car. No power or running water. Anyone know what that was called?

Anyone know what that was called?

Impossible? Is it possible you misunderstood him, when you say connected to a hose, he meant the device was connected to a garden hose, then there's a separate hose that goes into a bucket of soap, and when you spray the water through the brush it siphons some soap from the bucket? That I have seen, or something like it, anyway.

Brush Hero sounds similar other than being attached to the hose and powered by water pressure.

This is what he wrote to me.
. Years ago at the Chicago Auto show and the Wisconsin state fair (I bought two) I bought this contraption for washing my car. It was essentially a hose with a brush on one end and a special inlet valve on the other. It worked by vigously moving the brush thus creating a vaccume in the hose to pull up the soapy water. No power needed, no running water (only a bucket). I can't for the life of me find them anywhere or even what them might be called. You have any idea?

Being at a local fair / show I wonder if it was just something a local hobbyist cooked up in a garage and brought down to sell and make a few dollars.

Ouch! What's that brush made of? Novel idea, though.
