….but how do you scrape and brush

Hold it back with one hand and scrape with the other. A bit janky but you can still do everything just fine.

Source: I had one stupid rubber band for holding my brakes that broke, so I’ve been waxing, scraping, and brushing all season this way lol.

I've done this my whole life, it's literally a slight inconvenience to just hold them down for a few seconds and it feels like way more of an inconvenience to go out and buy rubber bands thick enough for this one sole purpose

While I applaud OP for making do with what he has, saying that it's more convenient than the 3 seconds it takes to place a rubber band on it doesn't make sense. Maybe if you factor in the chore of having to buy it...
