After a quick trip through the Super Star Car Wash tunnel, you can feel comfortable knowing your car is clean and protected from top to bottom. Afterward, take advantage of the free services like microfiber towels to wipe away any leftover drops.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Does all this washing seem like overkill?
