| What is the worst way you have seen a car cleaned?
Friday night I stopped off to get gas. I figured I would clean the windshield while I waited. When I pulled in I was nose to nose with a new 6 series BMW Convertible, Black on black, black powder coated custom rims, A really sharp car minus the need of a washing. When I started to clean the windshield the driver of the car piped up with "Oh yeah I should do that do" He proceeds to take the bug scrubbing squeegee, clean only the middle of the windshield then starts scrubbing the hood.... I stood there in shock probably with my mouth open. He spot scrubbed the bugs, and then wet the whole hood, then started scrubbing the vert top. Finally he squeegees the middle of the windshield he cleaned then the whole hood.... I just finished mine and drove away shaking my head.

About the worst I've seen is at any local fund raiser were all the towels and rags etc are used over and over. If asked , I usually just donate to their cause and go on.  | |

I see this stuff all the time and I WANT to say something but in reality, we're the odd ones here right?
and here's just how obsessed we are:
This weekend, I was watching The Karate Kid (I know I know,). Miyagi made Daniel-san wash and wax all the cars on his lot remember? I watched Daniel-san and was like "oh!, ouch! ooof! no he didn't!!"
We need help! But dang a Black 6 series?!?!?

I have found that very few people actually care about their cars. This still baffles me, because our cars are more than likely our 2nd. largest purchase/investment, behind our homes, and people just treat them like crap. Then again, there are a LOT of people that treat their house like crap too, so I shouldn't be surprised

That's not what we are like at all, not even close. 
We have a tunnel wash here that has two guys using long handled scrub brushes to wash cars as they roll through!
