I worked at a car wash one summer before college. A major problem was when the (mechanical) brushes came into contact with the car mirrors..
They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Modern coatings are more fragile than glass. Only soft sponge to gently remove the soil which could scratch it if you pressed too hard. You shouldn't even scrape of the asphalt particles that got stuck to it if you don't have a technique/polishing plate. But some people don't love their cars at all.

It's in the general area. Many POWs tried to escape from it in WWII.

It looks like this (once I was walking there and saw someone bleeding to death on that hill).

I don’t recognize the scenery but think I see some blue and white flags, so I’ll go with Argentina
