I remember seeing this as a young child, so mid to late 80's. This guy who works at a carwash gets a beat up crappy car but once it goes through the car wash it becomes a space fighter. He has to fend off what I remember as killer toupees (hair pieces). I just remember bits and pieces. And it's racking my brain.

    And this was a live action movie or a cartoon or a tv show or a comic book or a novel or a short story or a stage play?

You're probably thinking of a 1989 TV-movie called The Rocket Boy. It definitely has a car that transforms into a spacecraft after going through a car wash, and some floating wigs. Hard to believe there'd be more than one film with both of those elements.

You can watch the film (or most of it) here.
