I stopped at the car wash today to try and get rid of the salt and grime. I got tired of the car looking like a mobile pile of dirt. I shot this through the side window at f/6.3 to create a nice blurred background and get an abstract look.
I've seen lots of car wash shots but what makes this one interesting are the big, bold colors you've captured in the background. I hope your car is looking more presentable now! :)

Thank you for your wonderful comments! I greatly appreciate them!
I thought about taking a picture in the car wash before when part of the cycle the machine applies some multicolored foam to the car that is supposed to bring out the colors. So I was ready, but it didn't apply as much as it did before. So when I looked to my left and saw the yellow and red vehicles through the outline of the sign on the window I thought, "There's the picture!" I am glad you liked it!
@gardencat - I don't know what the camera focused on. I would have thought that it was the suds on the window. Unless I forgot to focus and when I saw the potential I snapped the shutter before the machine came around to spray the car. I changed the settings on my camera to use another button other than the shutter button to focus so that once I had a shot lined up and I might change the focal distance by zooming the camera didn't have to keep refocusing and wasting precious time.
