Whenever I'm washing my car and using a pressure washer, I never have a place to sit the wand. I'm always trying to "balance" it on top of the buckets and it falls on the ground. Same thing when I'm sitting next to a wheel cleaning it. Basically, I have a bucket next to me (brushes inside) and just end up sitting the pressure washer lance on the ground. Also, I end up doing the same thing with brushes I use to clean wheel wells because I don't want them to contaminate my wheel cleaning rinse water.
I don't like sitting stuff on the ground. For one, I'm lazy and don't want to pick it up. Secondly, the ground is dirty, and I don't want to be touching dirt when washing my car. Also, the pressure washer lance gets all beat up from sitting on the ground all the time.
So, I had another one of my (not so) great ideas. I made a little caddy mount for the pressure washer lance (or hose) on my rinse bucket out of PCV pipe.

A clean place to sit a towel or whatever:

A place to sit your mitt if you don't want it in the bucket for whatever reason, or to dry it after its cleaned:

Can stick your hose nozzle in it (imagine hose attached), so you don't have to sit it on the ground:

Bucket will be filled with water when using, so it won't want to tip.
The inside mounting:

Covered it with RTV:

I liked the idea so much, as I'm always looking for a place to sit something and end up trying to balance it on the end of my bucket and it falls on the ground. I ended up making another one.
One is a rinse bucket, one is a wheel bucket:

Everything (minus the buckets) was under $10 at Home Depot (enough to do two buckets)
Thanks for Looking.
