A trip through the car wash is supposed to leave a vehicle cleaner than it started. But if you're really unlucky it can turn it into a bubble machine. A mechanic's recent TikTok shows a customer's Dodge foaming suds from under the body and then out of the exhaust days after a wash.
The clip, posted by mechanic Frankie Alvarado (@frankiea510) on July 17, has pulled in more than 5.1 million views. Over 13 seconds, soap oozes from beneath the truck and drips from the tailpipe area while Chopin's Nocturne No. 2 plays, lending the whole thing a funereal air.
The caption reads: "It do be what it do be."
Why Did Soap Come Out Of The Exhaust?
Alvarado keeps the diagnosis deadpan. "Customer states ever since they went to a car wash," he says in the clip, delivering the line like an entry on a repair order and letting the footage do the rest. The suds appear first under the vehicle, then work their way out near the exhaust.
