Yeah, yeah. I get it. Everybody hates it. How could someone do this? Yadda yadda, hate, hate, hate. But has anyone taken the time to look into this and see just what this is all about? The fact is that this is no accident. Someone designed this, engineered this, and fabricated it to specs at a high cost. So for some reason obviously none of us here understand, someone thought this works. I'd like to know the reasoning behind that. I hope someone who has a competent education in the field of engineering takes a look at this and inspects the reasoning behind it. Anyone here want to tackle it? Or are we all just so full of hatred that curiosity has left the building?

It's actually a Truck mounted Touch-Free Car Wash System.
It is 100% touch-free and delivers unrivaled cleanliness and safety. The first step in the touch-free washing process is a two stage presoak application and dwell time. The second step uses ultra high-pressure wash nozzles on various components to achieve superior cleaning. Using only water and solvents, this System provides a impressively clean car without the use of friction or your own labor !
It is a perfect thing to have at a car show to run a quick cycle before being judged ...
