    Lucky the employees, red car, and the person vacuuming didn't get hurt.

    I originally thought that was an Oldsmobile Aurora, but now looks like maybe an Intrigue? Have not seen many of those on the road lately.

    Now see?? He didn't even give the "Undercarriage Spray" or the "Hot Wax" time to do their jobs properly.

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Musta paid extra for the express wash. I didn’t see it get Tri Foamed…. Should ask for a refund.

    The brushes did minimal damage to the paint because he traveled faster than the linear speed of the rotation. He ended up parked perfectly between the lines and the vacuum hose fell right into place.
    I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

    Pro-Tip: if you go through fast enough you'll minimize swirls.
