XXX car wash gets approval 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.
Thanks for the tip, BolderX!

We need those kinds of car washes here in the US. I'd assume that the outside of the wash uniforms consist of short shorts & white t-shirts or tank tops?

You have trouble ponying up cash for synthetic motor oil and premium gas when needed?? Jeez. I can understand if a $45, much less $82 car wash is out of the question (does she know how to claybar? will she claybar??), but getting cheap on your motor oil is ridiculous...

I remember that there used to be a similar-type business in L.A. a while about. I saw it in the news, but then never heard about it, ever.

#2, you like cars more than you like women.
Must be a genetic mutation.

I don't know if they are still in business, but Greensboro, NC used to have two wet T-shirt car washes. The schtick was that T-shirt-clad strippers washed your cash while splashing each other with the wash water. It is my understanding that the girls didn't do a terribly good job of cleaning your car, but you didn't really care. OTOH, the Aussies seem to do a much better job washing your car while giving their customers a much better show.
The takeaway message is that the naked car wash may be novel, but it is most certainly not new.

Years ago in Montreal, a pizza place which had a strip club in the basement, one summer opened up a car wash done by strippers wearing g-strings and t-shirts. Needless to say, the girls got quite wet washing your car as you sat behind the steering wheel. The operation lasted most of the summer, until a local newspaper featured on its front page, a city police car with two officers inside, having their windshield massaged by a pair of.....

Open that here and I'll still wash my truck at home. Not only do I enjoy washing it, I'm not going to let some bimbette crawl all over it, no matter how nice the show may be.
I love women, but, this gimmick isn't for me. I only go to a car wash in the winter, when I want to hose the salt and sand off.

I'll just go over there with an ice-cream in hand and place my folding chair and watch the show from the side, all day long.
Once I've had my fill of eye candy for the day, I'll go down to the real car wash and get the car washed for cheaper.
hahahaha

#10, If I met a woman who could give a proper car wash, I wouldn't mind spending $82 on it. I'd use that $82 and buy some top grade wax, not some dumb broad.

If that picture is of one of the actual girls, she looks like her name should be Roller Girl and she fell through a rip in the space time continum from 1976. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'd still love to have her wash my F-150. $82 dollars for a clean car and a lapdance sounds like a screaming deal to me. In New Mexico where I live the lapdance would be $20 to start with.

Guys, don't forget that this carwash is in Australia, so take 30% off all the prices to find how much it is in $US$. I think its a great idea personally.

I have been to this carwash in brisbane with my loaded friend. He shelled out AUD$145 and the girls washed the truck, then themselves, then finished themselves off inside the car.
I'm sure this is what's pissing the local council and government off, but no one's got evidence yet. Except this of course.
