Car cleaning accessory<br />
Hozeez, by Bishop Innovations, is the solution to the age old problem of trying to wash the<br />
car without the hose getting stuck under the tires. It is easy to use and durable. Simply drop<br />
the Hozeez on the ground and kick it under the tire. No careful placement is required. Due to<br />
its unique patent pending design, it actually gets pulled more tightly under the tire when the<br />
hose pulls against it, instead of being pulled out like cheap competitive products. When done<br />
washing the car, simply rinse the Hozeez off and toss them in your car wash bucket for storage.<br />
Hozeez is molded in high visibility yellow plastic so you can’t miss it when putting away<br />
the rags and buckets. If you do forget it’s under the tire, no problem – Hozeez is tough tested.<br />
For most situations, a pair of Hozeez will allow you to pull the hose around the car without<br />
it getting stuck, though some people still like to use four.<br />
Bishop Innovations is a family-owned business which produces all of its products in America.
