To the people who have Detail Guardz...

[Steelman]

I use the Detail Guardz for three cars. I have not had a problem with them ... yet. I like sudsmobile's idea.

I used mine yesterday and yes, you need to know how to insert on the tire. They work very well, and I did consider the bucket trick mention already. When you do use them you get the stuck hose promptly. With them set in place I never had an issue. But agree that they could be a pain if do it many times a day. But if it saves one stuck hose or electric cord on the blower, it worth the few minutes. Sorry but my photos would not load correctly.

Thanks everyone for the replies, I went ahead and ordered them. I need something to remedy this issue, and having to carry out and place 5 gallon buckets on each corner just ain’t gonna happen... The single 5 gallon bucket that I keep full of soapy water & mitts is bad enough. Lol.

I use them, but not for washing. I set them up when I have my polisher out so the electrical cord doesn't get caught under the tire and unplug the polisher from the extension cord. Really I should have bought them sooner, they are just expensive for what they are.

That actually makes it worse for getting the cords caught under the tires, but it does keep it from unplugging.

Yeah, I'm definitely not suggesting dragging that under the car. Extension cords I don't have any problem with for whatever reason. Having worked in similar industries for many years when I was younger, I'm super used to gathering up the cord as I go and dragging it away from the car as I work. Unplugging is my issue.
