    Thumbs up People watching at the car wash.

    Hi guys, first threader here. I wanted to share some humor with y'all today.

    The detailing shop I work part time at has heavily tinted windows that you can't see into, but can see out of, for security obviously. There are vacuum stations lined up alongside the building that anyone can use, as the facility is primarily a touchless wash. Anyways, needless to say you see some interesting things go on out there. Be it items people remove from their cars, people in general, or ways that they clean their car. My friend and I watched a women on Saturday clean her ENTIRE INTERIOR with a whole box of Cottenelle butt wipes. How do I know it was the whole box? Well, I watched her open it, and the empty box was in the trash along with what looked like 100 used ass wipes. I wonder if Johnson&Johnson gave their butt wipes any restoring capabilities or if they offer any UV protection or sorts? Are butt wipes safe of leather and vinyl?

    I look forward to seeing what this forum has to offer, and I have already read some interesting thread here. Forgive me now for being any old one's back from the dead lol. I already did on a few, product reviews mostly.

    What's the craziest thing you've seen someone use to clean their car with? Let's hear em!

    I once saw a guy wipe his entire car with a beach towel BEFORE going through the car wash. Talk about adding swirls to that car.

    I need to find that video of the woman at the quarter car wash hosing down the interior of her car with the pressure washer. That ends the thread pretty much right there.




    [EDIT] Great googly moogly, there is more than one...

    Re: People watching at the car wash.

    I've seen 2 people on FB brag about using a whole roll of paper towel and come cleaner to detail their cars. Lol

    As I like to point out when people suggest that certain household products could be bad for your vehicle, say, Dawn (you'll dry out your paint and trim!!), that Dawn is something that millions of people stick their hands in every day while washing dishes, and that is used to remove crude oil from wildlife, who are already pretty stressed from being, well, covered in crude oil. I guess you could argue that if you've got crude oil all over you, what's a little drying and irritation from Dawn? But the dish washing kind of disputes that.

    To your question, I would suggest that if a "butt wipe" is safe on one of the more sensitive areas of your body, and one known (as other mucous membranes are) to absorb chemicals/drugs/infectious agents, it will not harm your leather or vinyl.

    Sheesh, I'm starting to sound like Bob.
