I Call It A "Laser"

April 15, 2007

I am highly disappointed to discover yesterday that laser car washes do not, in fact, use lasers.

I think this is a terrible bit of false advertising. If one claims to wash my car with lasers for the affordable price of $8 to $12, then one should actually wash my car with lasers, dammit.

Wouldn't it be kinda hard to drive away a smoking clean hunk of smoldering slag?

While not nearly as much fun as the kind of car wash where the soapy tentacle monsters attack your car and you hide in the back seat, giggling, until they go away, the laser was was still kind of fun; especially fun since it drops not one, not two, but three layers of thick, light-obscuring soap-like foam on your car and you get to pretend you're in a cave.

Carwashes rock.

the lasers are only used for the machine to "measure" your vehicle so it has a better chance of missing the emblem-collected dust on the fender. A friend was in one of those things when it twitched, and he thought it was a new, Rush laser-light show preview. hasn't been the same since - like someone tied him to a HAARP tower..

I went to one of those laser car washes today. After three tries through, you couldn't tell it had been washed at all! It was still filthy! There was still soot & bird droppings! The owner told me I needed a hand wash and then I should come back. If I get a hand-wash, WHY would I come back?!?! Terrible. Avoid!
