It terrible. There is a self serve car wash where i live and its the most ridiculous thing ever. The brush is just like what they had in the video. I mean they may as well use steel wool. The suds they dispense are ****.

Interesting Video... I think the moral of the video... Don't let just anyone wash your car.

Painful to watch. All I could think about was all that work by the detailer down the drain in minutes.

I'm surprised they didn't use steel wool to clean the cars.
