The Power of OxyClean

The car has been trashed.

A video-game car drives into an automatic car wash, where the spinning brushes violently destroy it instead of cleaning it. The damaged vehicle eventually catches fire, making the “power of OxyClean” caption an absurd parody of an overly powerful cleaning product. The sequence works as a reaction to something intended to fix or improve a situation making it dramatically worse.
