accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming 
public, thereby making such automotive cleaning kit apparatus economically 
available to the buying public. 
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and 
improved automotive cleaning kit apparatus which provides in the 
apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, 
while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally 
associated therewith. 
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new and 
improved automotive cleaning kit apparatus wherein the same is arranged 
for mounting various components utilized in cleaning procedures for use in 
an automotive environment. 
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various 
features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with 
particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this 
disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating 
advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should 
be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there 
is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 to 6 
thereof, a new and improved automotive cleaning kit apparatus embodying 
the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally 
designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described. 
More specifically, the automotive cleaning kit apparatus 10 of the instant 
invention essentially comprises an upper cleaner housing 11 of a generally 
rectangular crosssectional configuration mounted to a table top surface 14 
of an associated lower support table 12, wherein the table top surface 14 
includes a projecting boss 15 fixedly and integrally mounted to each 
corner of the table top surface 14 to be complementarily received within a 
lower terminal end of a "U" shaped groove 13 formed at each corner of the 
container housing 11 to stabilize and position the container to the top 
surface of the table 12. The table includes a plurality of table legs 16 
mounted to each corner of the table to a bottom surface thereof, with a 
table slot 17 projecting medially through the table. The table slot 17 
mounts an "I" shaped handle 24 therethrough, wherein the "I" shaped handle 
24 includes an upper flange 24a and a lower flange 24b (see FIGS. 5 and 
6). In this manner, the "I" shaped handle is nested within the table slot 
17 in a first position to permit a combination of the container housing 11 
thereon, with the handle 24 projecting above the top surface of the table, 
wherein the upper flange 24a is utilized as a handle for transport of the 
table. The lower flange 24b is arrested by projecting opposed flanges in 
the table top surface to prevent removal of the handle 24 from the slot 
17. 
The container housing 11 is defined by a first container 18 defining 
essentially one-half or more of the volume of the container, with the 
remainder of the container divided into a respective second, third, and 
fourth container 19, 20, and 21. The second and fourth containers are 
positioned exteriorly of the medially positioned third container 20 that 
utilizes a drain plug aperture and associated removable drain plug 26, 
wherein the third container 20 is typically utilized with rinsing water as 
opposed to a soap water solution positioned within the first container 18. 
A second and fourth container 19 and 20 are utilized to mount washing 
accessories thereon, such as a chamois cloth 22 within the second 
container 19 and an elongate brush 23 mounted within the fourth container 
21. A series of spray bottles 25 are mounted to hooks 30 fixedly secured 
to a bottom surface of the table plate of the table 12. The spray bottles 
25 include a spray bottle of varying solutions for each of the hook 
members 30. Particularly, two rows of three hook members each are utilized 
for the storage of the spray bottles 25 thereon. In lieu of a spray bottle 
25, an additional chamois cloth 22 may be mounted and suspended upon one 
of the hook members 30. It should be further noted that drain apertures 27 
are directed adjacent a floor of each of the second and fourth containers, 
whereupon use of and positioning of a chamois cloth 22 or a brush 23 
within the second and fourth containers permit the draining of excess 
fluid and water from the members within the second and fourth containers. 
It should be further noted that a container insert 28 of a complementary 
configuration to an interior surface of the third container is provided, 
wherein the container insert 28 permits use of caustic fluids and the like 
to be positioned within the third container, wherein during periods of 
non-use, the container insert is positioned underlying the plate of the 
table 11. 
As to the manner of usage and operation of the instant invention, the same 
should be apparent from the above disclosure, and accordingly no further 
discussion relative to the manner of usage and operation of the instant 
invention shall be provided. 
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the 
optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to 
include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of 
operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to 
one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those 
illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are 
intended to be encompassed by the present invention. 
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the 
principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and 
changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired 
to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and 
described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may 
be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
