But as they started the wash, they heard soft brushing sounds coming from inside. Curiosity got the better of them, and peeking through the window, they saw nothing but empty buckets and sudsy water. Turned out, the old man was simply a neighborhood kid practicing his secret talent—making believe he's cleaning cars when really, he was just drawing on the walls with soapy fingers.
