I didn't know people used Diapers on their cars? I hope they weren't used!:nervous1
I remember seeing that years ago at exhibitions years ago. Trying to sell wax,they poured alcohol on the hood and set it alight after waxing it with their product.....So silly. Everyone knows that one. Do they still do that even today?

Haha very funny about the diaper comment. I didn't even know anything about car care until i found this great site. Never knew about the alcohol on the hood, very interesting.

This is perfect. I can print this out and hand it to my potential customers that think I charge to much. Go ahead and wash your 30K $$$ investment or more with a bottle of Dawn Extra Strength. Just let me detail your new or newly repainted car when you get it the next year.:woot2

They're not the things full of feces in the wal mart parking lot... *pukes*
They are soft cotton cloths that hospitals and nursing homes use, as apposed to buying tons of depends.
Once they're not fit to use anymore (as diapers) they get rid of the old cloths.
They do wash them in HOT HOT water, but still gross IMO.

Dope, you guy's have loaded baked diapers in Texas WalMarts too!
They don't use the cloth diapers at hospitals and nursing homes, at least not around here.

I heard it on dirty jobs. Mike was doing huge washer/dryer maintenance. I think it was at a hospital.
And yes we do. Disgusting. Probably the same people that don't take the five seconds to put up their cart. I tell ya what, I can't wait until the phsycho-semantic police form and take action.
... Any way. Back to the myths.
