Free Car wash

I didnt realize till the other day that you could get a free car wash at almost any gas station. I watched a lady take the window squeegee thing and proceed to wash the hood, roof, and trunk of her car, all with one dunk in the car wash solution. Then squeegeed it off, and her car looked as crappy as it did before, with nice lines about every 12".

Anyone else ever use this method to wash a car??

A few years ago I actually tried to stop a guy across from me at the pump from doing this... he proceeded to tell me that all 'car products' were a sham and all you need to maintain "Flawless paint" was some water and windex.

I would of argued... but then the saying - "Never argue with an idiot, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" popped into my head. Figured it wasn't worth arguing.

To each his own. Some people use the SINK to take a bath while standing in a room with a tub!
