    Re: Tunnel wash rant - Free speech thread

    There is a huge carwash in Anchorage called Monster Wash and they have both brush and touchless tunnels as well as wand wash bays

    They also offer a hybrid where guys pretreat the body, wheels, etc and then attack it with brushes on broomsticks dipped in buckets and then they send you through the touchless wash

    Yeah your car is clean but what the actual hell, talk about abuse

    I went through their plain touchless tunnel once and it didn't touch the lift gate area, so I complained and they sent me through again with zero improvement, so I wrote up a bad review on Yelp and people came out of the woodwork to crucify me because I didn't have them rub my car with brushes dipped in mud to get it really "clean"

    There is just no hope in the world if people actually WANT their cars rubbed with a brush.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    If it works on teeth then it must work on cars too, right?

    I think you are on to something here

    We figure out how to coat cars with tooth enamel and then all correction can be done with toothpaste and that bubble gum flavored abrasive they use when they clean your teeth and our cars will always be sparkling white and smell minty fresh

    I have to use prescription toothpaste. I have had no luck with over the counter kinds

    But honestly, do you expect a robotic machine to get your vehicle completely clean? Come on man.

    That’s the funniest part

    I see people pulling out of the one where I get gas and the back end is invariably still dirty

    So paint damage plus half a$$ job?

    I wonder if people don’t notice the half a$$ job until they get home and even then I wonder if they even care

    There’s a big sign at the exit that says something about if you aren’t happy you can go through again

    Not sure I’ve seen anyone do that

    Oh well
