A drive through wildlife safari park in Oregon–which is one of the all-time great tourist trap concepts EVER–has opened up a new feature to its park, the drive through elephant car wash.  It’s hose-free, brush free, and if you believe the park, it’s guaranteed to not get your car cleaned.  Check out the word from the park:

“I think a great deal of the success that happened at Wildlife Safari this year was attributed to these animals. People love to come out and have fun. What’s really cool with our elephants is what started this whole thing, and that’s that they love to play in water. They just love to have fun themselves.“

They’re having fun, you’re getting your car…um…sprayed…what more can you possibly want?  Aside from, of course, not having to take your car to an actual car wash to get the streaks of elephant mucus off it?  Not much, I’d say.

Better yet, check out the video!

Fathers often have a car to go to work and if you are having trouble figuring out what to give, perhaps something for the car that he drives and how to aid in maintaining it to look better would be a great gift to consider. Among the things you can get include some products from Turtle Wax, the renowned car wax that has helped in car maintenance as far as retaining paint quality is concerned.

Turtle Wax suggests the following easy steps using high-quality car care products to help give dad a flawless-looking vehicle.

• Wash: The first step is to clean the vehicle of all surface contaminants. For best results, use a product that will deep clean the vehicle’s exterior and remove any stubborn dirt and stains. Turtle Wax ICE Car Wash is a clean-rinsing formula that is safe for all finishes.
• Wax: Waxing helps restore color and shine left behind from bad weather and road debris and leaves behind a protective barrier to help prevent scratches, swirl marks and other surface contaminants from damaging the finish. Turtle Wax ICE Liquid Polish goes on easy and creates exceptional shine. Unlike conventional waxes, ICE Liquid Polish can be applied in direct sunlight or on a hot surface without streaking or wax build-up.
• Wheels and Tires: In addition to washing and waxing the vehicle’s finish, cleaning and protecting wheels will help keep cars looking like new. Turtle Wax ICE Wheel & Tire Cleaner easily cuts through brake dust and road debris on all wheel and tire surfaces. The detachable unique ICE Edge Brush helps effortlessly clean intricate wheel areas.
• Interior: To prevent stains and permanent discoloration, it is important to clean interior surfaces, including carpeting, upholstery and inside door panels. Turtle Wax’s ICE Total Interior Care can be used on all interior surfaces and leaves behind a barrier and non-greasy shine.

This may seem to easy to give but at least you are giving your dad something that he can really find handy.
