Using a 350-tonne mining excavator to wash a car

Cleaning a car using a mining excavator instead of washing by hand is certainly quicker, but results may vary.

YouTube user  uploaded the video on December 20.

Commenter shimrra guesses that the mining excavator is a Liebhrr R9400, which has a 22 square metre shovel capacity capable of holding 5,811 gallons of water.

That is the same amount of water needed to fill one quarter of an average-sized pool or 145 baths.
