Have you ever seen someone clean their entire car with a squeegee at the gas station?

Saw a thread like this on another forum and laughed because I saw it happen the other day. A woman was pumping her gas and as it was happening she took the squeegee out of the bucket and commenced to do the sides, front, rear, all the windows, bumpers, hood, etc of her Ford Explorer. I stood there looking at her like this blink.gif

I used to clean off the painted part of the hatch after doing my windows on the Accent. Never the whole car though...

I do lights, mirrors along with the windows generally. I'll also scrub off bird crap sometimes.

i work at a gas station, indians do it all the time. using it to clean plastic/unpainted surfaces is OK, as is cleaning off bird mess. i'll stop at licence plates though, thats getting silly.
