Hammer and Coop - Foam Sponges?
So I just watched the first episode of Hammer and Coop and all I could think of was how upset OctaneGuy would be to see that new MINI being washed with only one bucket and FOAM SPONGES! Yikes!  |

Well, I guess that proves it. I have the MINI bug bad. All I was thinking about was that paint getting scratched. I'm sure my wife would be proud.  |

Notice that the episodes are about 5mins long each, to do an octane guy wash scene, it would take about 5 hours
