    Default Laser Car Wash did a fantastic job

    Laser Car Wash in Wilmington, NC did a fantastic job on a really awful '89. Drought in Raleigh has banned car washing. Took the cheapest wash at $6.00. Man oh man, what a difference.

    Anyone have experience with this method. Advantages/disadvantages?

    Inquiring minds want to know - how in the heck do they wash a car with lasers? Is this some Luke Skywalker trick or what?

    It doesn't use lasers. They just call it that.

    Lasers aren't involved in the cleaning. And IR isn't a laser.

    and most ppl call IR lasers ... just like ppl around here called the early nokia phones with IR ( nokia with lasers ) ... not all IR can be lasers too there are UV lasers and any colore depending on the gas used to excite the laser from.
