I genuinely can't tell if that's a spoof video or real life, so I'm amused and horrified... respectively.

I need to incorporate the pressure washer inside the car technique. Amazing that video is an advertisement.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that video. They are washing a Ford.

Heres a great video showing research by a detailer - best outcome for ford mustang (test scale).

Best (funniest) ad for a dealership I have seen have been the Trunk Monkey series.

Thanks for the laugh. This guy's obsessed with Armor-All. Wants to make "whole inside shiny," even tire treads. 🤣

Few worse smells than a used car after "detailing" department has their way with them.

I have posted this before. If it's true, it's some of the scariest crap I've ever seen....and would explain a lot.

That is the best way of getting farts out of the seats I have ever seen.

That video's been floating around for years and years. Gets reposted on here every once in a while. Still think it's a joke.

Of course it's a joke. No way in hell any dealer would do that, even if you asked (and pay) for it. The spoof giveaway is putting a pressure washer on the interior, and washing the dash with soap. Lots of electronics would be ruined, and the interior would have to be stripped to be dried (like if flooded). Besides, the seats would take days to dry. And only a professional detailer would use an orbital machine... and mine still managed to screw up my brand new Porsche. No dealer would take on that liability. But still fun to watch.
