It kinda' rained in SoCal yesterday and Tuesday, so my car was filthy. Plus I had to get gas and the gas station down the street has one of those "Laserwash 4000 touchless car wash" things. What the hell. I tried it - figure it'll at least make the car clean enough to tolerate until I can hand-wash it this weekend and get the water spots and crap off it.

So you pull into the bay and it sprays a series of various liquids and rinses onto the car. As part of it, it uses "tri-color foam". WTF is this crap? It didn't do any damage or anything (car came out nice & clean) but what the hell is it? What's the purpose (other than probably marketing)?

Alien material? Leftover surplus Agent Orange from Vietnam? Ground-up floam from kids' toys? Dessicated silly string? What is it and what's it supposed to do?

I tried the laserwash web site - no answers. Must be some mystery chemical they're getting from Asia.
