So, you know those window cleaner thingies most gas stations have? The ones that have a squeegee on one side and a sponge on the other side. A sponge that is covered in a netting designed to scratch those pesky bugs off your windshield. Yeah, that’s the thing.
I’ve seen a few people actually wash their cars with those. Most of the time it’s an old beater with a less than perfect paint job anyway.
Not today. This relatively new, $60,000 Mercedes SUV is being washed with the windshield squeegee. The whole thing. First I thought if I guy can shell out $60,000 for a car, you’d think he could afford 8 bucks every month or so for one of our touchless carwashes. Then I realized what he was doing was even worse for the vehicle than not washing it in the first place.
So, NOTE TO GENERAL PUBLIC: Do not wash your vehicle with the window squeegee at the gas station. They are designed for scrubbing bugs off glass, which is a hell of a lot harder to scratch than your paint.
Thanks. Now I have fulfilled my FCC Public Service Announcement quota for this year.
