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
