Bang

I bought one of these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Foam-Car...76e8%7Ciid%3A1 for doing quick washes of my 330e without pulling out the pressure washer. First time using it today, and the block nozzle flew off and bounced of my bonnet. I can't see a mark, which is good.

Video for laughs.

Are you going to use it again? Or is it heading for the bin?
I tried to view the attached video, but it kept defaulting to an unrelated video.

Ahh, I had trouble posting that link. Not sure why.

I might try and fix it by drilling some holes on the attachment and the main body, then use a spring or cable to attach the two together.
Then it will be time to test it on the wife's car for a few months.

I think I might just spend more money and get a proper one!

Hahaha. That’s the way......sacrifice the wife! Great to know there are more non-PC people out there.

The video worked fine this time. The offending missile didn’t give you much notice before becoming a projectile.

I think I’ll continue to wash my car by hand!
It has a kind of car-driver bonding effect on me.

It's a win-win. Not only do I get to test my fix on someone else's car, I get relationship points for washing her car so often.
