I can see a face-full of water coming my way when sliding the pole back into the van 
Certainly looks better than the brush thingy from years ago that you had to smack against the wall.
Dave I liked to think of it more of a nudge than a smack

and your right it is much better.
You won't get a face full of water even if you turn the pole, as the brush needs to be held still at the same time as the pole is turned. Even if you wanted to soak yourself in the face it would be very difficult to do so.
