Cleaning implement for motor vehicles

Abstract

An apparatus ( 10 ) for washing vehicles, boats, caravans or the like includes a telescopic handle ( 12 ) through which liquid is transferred to a brush-head ( 16 ) with bristles ( 19 ). Liquid, preferably water, is ejected through an opening ( 18 ) in the form of an aperture ( 20 ) located in a bristle free zone ( 21 ) resulting in a jet of water substantially parallel to the apparatus handle. The aperture is smaller in diameter than that handle, resulting in increased pressure. The handle is connected to a hose ( 14 ) which in turn is connected to a water source such as a tap.
