| Abstract: |
A car-cleaning implement (1) comprises a spongy resiliently-flexible liquid-absorbent block (2) having an exposed face (3) for applying soapy water, and its opposite face sheathed with a thin flexible skin (4) which is not water absorbent and is formed with parallel ribs (5) extending between opposite ends of the block. By inverting the block after washing off the soapy water, the ribbed skin can be used to remove water droplets from the painted surface of the car without streaking.

I claim:
1. An implement for cleaning grime and wiping liquid from an extended surface, comprising a resiliently-flexible block of relatively water-absorbent spongy material having one face exposed for applying a cleaning solution, such as soapy water, to the surface to be cleaned and wiped dry, and the opposite face sheathed with a relatively thin resiliently-flexible skin of material which is non-absorbent to water and which is bonded over substantially its entire area to said opposite face so as to be effectively integral therewith and said resiliently-flexible skin having non-absorbent V-shaped ridges with smooth outer edges formed on its outer side to act as effective wiping blades that can bend in three dimensions and wipe liquid from a curved surface.
