As an arachnophobe, I live in constant fear of a big, juicy spider falling onto my car from one of the trees on an adjoining property. As I drive along, so the nightmare goes, it finds its way into the cabin, across the window, down the dashboard and up the steering column while I try and negotiate six lanes of roaring traffic in complete, brown terror.

Wouldn't it be convenient if there were a car wash, (and for that matter, a matching engine degreaser) which I could use to clean my car and repel spiders and crawling insects at the same time.

I'm thinking this product could be much like the ones you find for cleaning your floor, but industrial strength, because its the car - toddlers don't have to walk on it.

Quick Googling suggests that no such product exists. Meanwhile, I'm considering poisoning all of my neighbor's trees.
