Naked Car Wash

It is pretty outrageous, but it really does make sense. I am surprised no one has thought of it before.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/19/x...-in-australia/

A few months back, I paid $75 for a car wash. The young entrepreneur that took care of the cleaning service did a complete detailing job, including removing the front seats to properly clean the carpet, and beautifying the engine bay. The guy even painted the black lettering on the motor to make the engine cozy look brand new. Down Under at the Bubbles 'n' Babes car wash in Brisbane Australia, you can get a car wash from a naked woman and a lap dance, but it'll cost you a cool $82. If that's too much money for you, you can get the nude wash minus the up-close-and-personal element for $45. The establishment is owned by a strip club owner (shocking...we know), and it uses recycled water to keep in compliance with strict usage rules brought on by a prolonged drought.

It should come as no surprise that local government officials were against the nudie wash, but in the end, Brisbane's mayor decided that no rules were being broken. We don't know about you, but we have trouble ponying up the extra cash for high-grade motor oil or gasoline, and seriously, $45 for a basic car wash is pretty ridiculous, despite the "free" show that comes with it.

Good excuse to buy a beater car and go to the car wash. LoL.. I'd hate to see the swirl marks and other light scratches those women would cause on the paint. haha.. but then again I'm sure none of the guys going to this place really care about that.

Yeah, them being naked will draw your attention away from them dropping a sponge and picking it back up covered with small rocks and continue rubbing on your car with it.

No zippers or buttons to bump into your paint.

Rally - how much damage can a minge do to your clearcoat?

For the price of that car wash, you can go to a strip club and drink more than the minimum.

They opened one of these in San Antonio on the southside next to my southside office. It did not last long but I checked it out with a co worker and it was cool. It was $20.00 and they did a shitty job but it wasn't my $20.00 and it was not my car so..... Now that place just has girls in Bikinis who get you your beer and frozen drinks.

There is a new article about this in Edmonds. It seems they provide lapdances?

Hummers are extra. Both of them.

There's a "Gentleman's Club" 2 miles from my house that does a charity car wash each year. They wear bikinis, though. Unfortunately, I have never had them wash my car. I think my wife would be fine with it, but bikini or not, no-one washes my car but me!

Every time I pass any roadside fundraising car wash, I have visions of the sponge being dropped in the gravel, picked up, and used anyway.
