In those early "Ford Model T" days, 2 men would work all night long every night with a bucket and hose tediously washing the cars.
KozaK DryWash Cloths were first used in 1926 at the R.M. Walker Ford Dealership in Batavia, New York. The KozaK Cloths cloths were born out of the necessity of cutting the cost of washing all those cars. Developed by Mr. Russ Bridge of Genesee Chemical Company, the cloths saved over 80% of the wet washing expense and they lasted for 50 to 100 cleanings. In the beginning, word of mouth advertising spread the news of KozaK across the United States where the clothes were sold at many hardware stores, petrol stations and auto dealerships.

Why is it named "KozaK"?
The name KozaK itself was an invented name. Edward Walker III, the first President of the company, had read that George Eastman of The Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York (film, cameras. lenses) attributed his success to a five letter word with two hard consonants at the end of the word and one consonant in the middle. Mr. Walker wrote to George Eastman and obtained permission to use the patented name "KozaK", (which is now a registered trademark along with “Dry Wash” and the picture of the KozaK Camel.) |
Needs No Water - It's a Dry Wash
The original saying "Needs No Water - It's a Dry Wash" is just as true today as it was back in 1926. Since 1926, tens of millions of automobile collectors, owners, enthusiasts, dealers and detailers throughout the United States and Canada have sworn by the beautiful results obtained by using the KozaK DryWash Cloth. Shortly afterwards, people realized that the KozaK also worked beautifully on furniture, mirrors, chrome, glass, and motorcycles as well as on cars. It immediately became popular with piano stores, furniture shops, hotels, and even funeral homes (where they are used to wipe fingerprints and dirt from the coffins on display)!
