A device for use in dispensing tire chemical onto a cylindrical car tire brush, comprising, an elongated shield having a concave inside surface having a curvature generally matching the outside curvature of the cylindrical brush, a port entering into the inside surface of the shield for receiving a chemical, and at least one distribution groove formed into the inside surface, which distribution groove communicates with the port and is inclined downwardly at an angle so as to distribute the chemical longitudinally along the said inside surface.

A brush for a trailer hitch receiver. The brush includes a head shaped to conform to an interior channel of a trailer hitch receiver. This allows the brush to be used to clean the interior of a trailer hitch receiver, which is generally challenging to clean. In various embodiments, the head of the brush can be integral with the shaft. In other embodiments, the brush can include multiple interchangeable heads so that the cleaning tool can be used for multiple different types or sizes of trailer hitch receivers.

An automatic automotive detailing tool utilizes a motorized tool and a plurality of interchangeable head attachments. The motorized tool is particularly suited for use with both cars and boats. The tool is adapted to receive and operate a plurality of interchangeable head attachments. The interchangeable head attachments can perform a variety of functions ranging from cleaning to waxing to buffing.

The present invention relates generally to the field of pressure washer wands and a cleaning attachment that can be attached to any standard pressure washer wand. The attachment has a roller assembly with a bristled roller head. The head can be positioned in front of the spray tip of a wand such that water that exits the wand and causes the head to spin.

A method for operating a vehicle treatment system, in particular a vehicle washing system, includes treating at least one vehicle surface with at least one rotating brush with a brush material at an immersion depth of the brush, and controlling during the treatment of the vehicle surface, the rotating brush based on a setpoint value for the friction of the brush material on the vehicle surface, the immersion depth of the rotating brush on the vehicle surfaces treated therewith being monitored at the setpoint value during the treatment of the vehicle surface in order to determine the state of the brush material. In addition, a vehicle treatment apparatus, a use thereof, and a computer program product are provided.

The present invention, a cylindrical rotary tire brush element with an integrated wear indicator, is intended to replace the prior art cylindrical rotary tire brush element in a prior art rotary tire brush assembly. The cylindrical rotary tire brush element with integrated wear indicator is intended as a drop-in replacement to the prior art cylindrical rotary tire brush element of a prior art rotary tire brush assembly. The invention is made from at least two homogeneous pluralities of bristles, with each homogeneous plurality of bristles having the same purpose, material, color, and specified length. At least one plurality is a cleaning bristle of a first color and first specified length. At least one plurality is an indicator bristle of a second color and a third specified length, where the second color is a highly noticeable color such as yellow, red, orange, green, or white. The third specified length is equal to the minimum acceptable actual length of the cleaning bristles.
