Penguin at the Car Wash

Can you hear the music? I’m doing that funky groove dance as I write this.. go ahead, stop and laugh. I’ll wait.

Seriously I went to the car wash a few nights ago. WOW did the car need it. Here’s how this works.

First, you determine if your car needs a washing…

Absolutely, what the heck spit up on this vehicle??

Then, because gas stations are conviently equipped with carwashing facilities, you can choose what level of car washing service you’d like.

We chose the Ultimate – If they had anything higher, I don’t know that it would have helped. Man this car was covered in slime — I’ve seen cleaner penguin poop corners than this car. Regardless, we chose the top of the line and I crossed my wings hoping for the best.

The you drive to the washing station (reading signs carefully so you don’t have to look like a goofball driving backwards in the “wrong way” drive way). Enter your code from your purchase receipt and follow the washing instruction sign ahead. Then comes the fun part.. bubbles!

Very bad photo skills here. These bubbles are exceptionally fun because they are followed by high blasts of water and then multi-color goo. Gotta love the goo, it makes things shiney!

Finally, lets really talk about shiney. It’s so clean I can see myself.

Dang, I look good!
