    MUST SEE - The Ultimate in High Quality Car Washes

    MUST SEE - The Ultimate in High Quality Car Washes


    So as some of you may have heard me mention our parking lot at work has been under construction and while the weather has turned to the point I would take Skybaby on some days… lately construction has caused her to stay grounded.

    For a while now my d/d has been inundated with a wave of concrete dust on a daily basis…. No big deal, I was going to wash it this weekend. Well, today was my lucky day!!

    I came outside of my office around 9 this morning. We are all forced to park in the back right now where I can’t see my car from my window. So anyway I come outside and I see my car is wet. I think to myself, “well, that’s odd… It certainly isn’t raining.” As I approach the vehicle with the obvious idea the construction guys must have got some water on it inadvertently the foreman approaches me seeing the consternated look on my face.

    I’ve spoken to him on a daily basis for the past few weeks and must say he is a lovely chap. As he approaches he says to me, “We got concrete dust on your car so we washed it.” Doing my very best to show appreciation for this kind act, I move towards the car a little more and say “uhh, you mean you sprayed it with the hose?” (Trying to change reality with my words) He says to me, “Well, we sprayed some water on it but we wiped it off with our rags….”

    Now, I know exactly what “rags” he was talking about because I saw them wiping concrete over spray off their equipment a few days earlier… I kindly let this fine forward thinking individual know that if any more concrete dust landed on my car I would prefer it stayed there. And in a tone that was most re-assuring he said, “Oh, we are all done with that part now.”

    While I didn’t thank him for his kind deeds I did do my best to be polite…

    Personally I think a Nobel should be delivered to this fine man for his discovery of this new system.

    First 10 seconds of video to better see the scratches…. In some of the pictures you can even see them when you’re static.



    And some pictures… so you too may admire a car wash like none other I have seen...

    Yeah, that was helpful! Reminds of when my friend Jr. was trying to clean a big snow off her car with her Oxo Twister snow brush with the soft flagged bristles, and the neighbor wanted to help her with the stiff broom he was using on his car...she politely declined.

    Sorry for your loss.

    Corey, that's unbelievable!

    I know they were trying to do the right thing but man, it's a good thing you didn't decided to take Skybaby to work today!

    If that had happened to Skybaby, Corey would be posting from prison right now asking how to get acquitted of murder charges.

    Sorry to see that happened, but at least now you've got a swirled-up car to test/review polishes on

    I think you may be right Charlie. It wouldn't have been pretty...

    Cee Dog, I can't see your face expression or know how fast your blood boiled hearing "we wiped it with our rags".

    You are a patient man. It reminds me of the street guys that would approach me in Los Angeles and start washing my windshield.

    I'd tell him "no", but they always break out a small water bottle and old newspapers.

    Anyhow, great story! I would be cool with the water hose, but wiping my car with contruction towels would off made my knees weak.
    There is vast amounts of knowledge at your fingertips, use Google, Youtube, and the search button.
