I know which ones you're talking about. They're quite expensive and quite rare, though. Even for the Autopian, they're out of reach when you can have a GS for $1 or $2 or a sheeskin wash mitt for $10 or $20.
I imagine they might be good for doing an Autopian wash on buses or RVs, though.
This thread reminds me of the brief moments last year that I spent at a production shop. The owner called himself a 'Master Painter'. Funny, because he had an illegal bodyshop with no paint booth whatsoever. He had 3-4 cars in for work all day long. When I asked him about, he said we're getting a booth and he sprayed an aerosol can in front of me to demonstrate how safe it was for the environment.
This brings me to the point. He had contracts with the local Honda dealership. All of their used cars would go to him and 2-3 detailers would wash the outside and completely detail the inside. Every single wash (except for mine, of course) was done with the brush. I imagine the owner's vehicle, a Blue E46 sedan, was done in the same manner because every inch of it was covered in the worst swirls I have yet seen on a Blue car.
