She is sufficiently familiar with the operator that I expect she asked earlier, and he told her at the time that it would probably not hurt them. It’s just that, seeing the violence of the process in person, she is experiencing some doubts.
Car washes often contain small amounts of hydrofluoric acid, so yes, it’s potentially toxic. There’s been several cases of car wash employees getting severe burns after being exposed to cleansing agents. The perverse thing about it is that the acid is diluted enough that the burn is not immediately painful, so the most severe incidents are when the victim just treated it as being splashed with water and just kept on working as usual instead of immediately going to rinse themselves abundantly in a shower stall.
I have never particularly shipped characters in a comic before, but Carwash Guy’s philosophical equanimity in the face of mime-maquillaged Chibi Vampirella’s caper in his place of employment strikes me as the all-time meet story.
To quote Her Eminence, Catherine Bush, OBE:
“Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Get that dirty shirty clean
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Make those cuffs and collars gleam
Everything clean and shiny
It feels a little late for safety concerns

I think we can safely say Boozoo is
washed up.
I know it’s for her own good. But losing Clown Mildred is a huge waste for humanity. Can’t wait for see Boozoo’s true identity!
What if Boozoo is… someone we’ve never seen before?!
That would be against Scooby-Doo rules!
As the computer monitor says, R.I.P.
Good catch!
So this is the source of the great fresco “St. Lottie Rinsing The Clowns From Britain”!
Take my upvote.
Wince and rinse and then dispense all Clowns with debts to pay. Safety is state of mind. Drip dry or run away.
The suds-pence is killing me!
Big question; Gushing spinning water aside, are any of the cleansing agents in car washes toxic?
A hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
I hear that in my wretched approximation of Bob Dylan’s voice. You’re lucky you don’t support sound.
It has to be said that Dylan’s own voice has long been a ‘wretched approximation’ of itself and yet many support that sound.

Hydrofluoric Acid goes through the skin and heads for the bones(Calcium).
The semiconductor fabs are full of it. Taiwan (CPU supplier to the world) is full of people that are just bags of jelly.
The clowns may have had poor spelling, but after this, they’ll wax eloquent!
You should have made sure that this won’t accidentally drown Mildred BEFORE you hatched that plan, Lottie…
In all fairness, though, it’s not like Lottie always thinks through things like “consequences” when planning…
” are any of the cleansing agents in car washes toxic?”
Not if it’s funny!
The hands on the glass is a nice touch.
Lottie casts Scruberoo!
It’s quite effective! And… mostly non-lethal. Mostly.
Does this douse the theory that Mildred is an infiltrator?
I’d say it’s a wash.
Is Tackleford about to suffer a sewer blockage caused by a greasepaint-berg?
Next page mourns the untimely demise of the clowns by car wash.

^^^^^^^
Only three more pages to the story. I’m both excited to see how it ends, and sad to see it end. And then excited again to see what John does next.
A Tackleford-Tredregyn mashup!

Washing machine
Washing machine
Washine machine”
Ms. Bush also knows a thing or two about mimes.
Indeed!
Wait. That’s not Linton or one of his brothers, is it?
