I think they could probably be trained to do this and they'd probably have a lot of fun as well. Have the money go to buy their chimp-chow or whatever.

Great if you have a brown car... |
|
| |
I think dogs (spaniels, perhaps) with sponges tied to
them would do a better job. |
|
| |
This seems like a task for trained rotifers, actually. |
|
| |
I wonder if you can train sponges. |
|
| |
Sure, but they'll just try to sponge off of the spaniels and rotifers, so what's the point? |

I'd vote for small rodents. A large cage containing a
few hundred chinchillas could be drenched with
soapy water, then upended over the car. After that,
successive cages of dry, and then wax-coated
chinchillas could be used. |
|
| |
I suspect that chinchillas are self-cleaning, so they
could be reused to keep costs down. |

Which would leave you about half a litre of chinchillas. Chinchillas are 99.99% fluff; a wet chinchilla ceases to exist for all practical purposes. What you get is something that looks like a mammalian dragonfly without the wings - two huge eyes at one end, and a bottlebrush tail at the other. |
|
| |
The chinchillas could be pre-treated with a
waterproof gel. |
|
| |
Actually, there's an entire "hairgel for mammals"
field to explore. |

I tried buffing the underside of my car by driving over a heard of chinch once. Worked great. |
