Default Squeek from car-wash

I have noticed that when I wash my car and leave it running when I wash it (normally only happens that way, maybe its coincidence?) (I leave the a/c on, temp doesnt get bad, the fans go on-off-on-off as I am washing it so I know the temp is fine).

The car squeeks from the front end REALLY BAD! for a while (until it dries off?) It does it braking, accelerating, going over a bump, slow/fast, doesnt matter, sounds HORRIBLE! but other times its just fine. What could I possibly be getting wet that would do this?

Its your pulleys/belt getting wet. Mine does the same thing. When it gets wet, it squeaks. No need to worry.

Here's the fix for the rest of BLKWS.6's problems : His keyboard needs to be smashed in a million pieces. His mouse is the only thing that should be used at this point. The keyboard is evil and draining his soul of logic , sense and any kind of rationality. SMASH THE KEYBOARD, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!
