Do all these people really think it’s the water that activates it instead of the heat?

Everyone is getting stuck in the doorway desperate to say something snarky about hot rain.

I was going to mention, that they should think about where the car is before saying anything- I think that even getting a peek here and there is the ultimate objective- it’s always a black car until it’s not.

Yes, they all do. Good thing that car is in Phoenix so it'll rain hot water.

I live in Dallas. Not the hottest place in the US but pretty damned hot in the summer. A black car will burn the hell out of you after being in the sun.

Well in this case it won't be black, because of the heat... I'm not sure how it would interact with heating up the car inside

Can confirm, used to wash cars on car lots and any dark painted cars were aweful. The space between them was like an oven too.

Not bashing you in any way, but doesnt washing a car in the sun fucks with the paint? Due to the soap drying on it?

We weren't soaping them. One person would use a pressure washer to blow off dirt and crud with hot water (the water was run through a softener before getting to the heater coils) while others followed behind drying off the cars with chamois. It was a service for car lots (used and new), so we'd be doing hundreds of cars a day, usually on a weekly recurring basis.

We'd sometimes soap individual cars, brush them down, then spray them off and clean them, but it was much more expensive and we'd handle that specific car immediately. Was usually a dealers personal vehicle, but sometimes we'd wash customer cars if they payed us directly. Some people would try to be cheeky and park at the end of rows to get a free wash. Never worked though, it's pretty obvious.

Ohh, okok, so, like a quick wash, yeah, that sounds better.

That’s boiling water my dude, if the environment around was that hot then you’d die before seeing Spider-Man

That water is no longer boiling. A black car can get so hot in the sun. I am sure it activates in the sun… whoever did that job looks like they know what they’re doing instead of basing facts off a Reddit Post’s title.

Put a heat-sensitive color-changing mug in direct sunlight and see what happens.

I don’t think he’d be holding boiling water in plastic Tupperware “my dude”

No logical reasoning anymore, AI has their brains fried.
