    Strip car wash

    I was watching the music video "Break'em off" by paul wall, and I was struck with an idea...so here it is.

    What two things do guys love the most?... Girls and Cars!.. combine the two and what do you get? A million dollar business from year 1, with very low start up costs.The cars would be hand washed by naked women. This would greatly reduce the need for expensive washing/ drying equipment.

    A basic wash would start at 50.00 which includes a wash, window cleaning, and rim polish.

    Advanced wash would start at 75 which include all the above + wax

    The insides of the cars would not be cleaned for a few reasons

    1. The girls would be wet and dirty from cleaning the cars, and that would make it difficult to clean the inside.

    2. We want to contain the customer inside the car during the duration of the wash to protect the women from possibly abusive customers. armed Bouncers would be on sight to handle any punks.

    3. By avoiding the inside of the car, we can increase the CPH (cars per hour) because the inside is the most time consuming.

    The hard part would be getting a license for something like this, but like strip clubs, it never fails, men cram into these places and spend money like nobody's business.

    I could offer other services too like basic car maintenance checks and repair such as oil changes, and the like (probably done by men).

    It's not the quality of the wash that matters here, its the experience the customer gets when he drives up. Like strip clubs, I've seen some nasty a## women, but they get paid cuz guys just wanna see her shake her a## and spread her legs infront of him. Same concept here.

    I used to work at a car wash before...it wasnt uncommon to handle 500 cars a day, at 50 to 75 per wash, you're lookin at 25,000 to 37,000 per day...150k to 222k a week, in a year, 7.8 to 11.5 million

    of course this is revenue, not profit.

    50 for a wash might be over doing it.. maybe $25+ a tip for the girls. Nice idea though.

    Edit: + I'll add to your idea a bit. Have like a 6-7 car garage like at pepboys filled with girls. maybe privacy curtains in between. Possibly with the lights out + some club style lighting or something.

    A former partner tried doing this in Miami, but the owner of the spot he wanted ended up giving it away to someone else.

    Your biggest hurdle will be regulations. Decency laws can be a b*tch (meant as a pun, lol) in most areas. You'll have a VERY hard time getting it approved with nudity involved. Since the patrons remain in their vehicles, it won't be a strip club, per se, but the fact that they are nude will still keep the conservative locals against the business even existing.

    One way to get around this is doing a bikini car wash. There is no way to enforce any sort of decency regulations when all of the 'problem areas' are covered up. If someone makes a complaint about indecent behavior (sexual posing, etc), then they can try and spring something on you. Other than that, it would be a clean (pun again) and rather lucrative business.

    agree with paul. Bikini might be a safer choice, but location is still play a critical part.

    find a location with less children to avoid getting lots of complain letters from parents.

    What state are you considering doing this in? If you are serious about the idea you may want to speak with an attorney.

    There used to be one near my home in Ft. Myers, Florida a few years ago. Your car would go thru a conventional automatic car wash while you watched... when it reached the end a bikini-clad hottie would drive it out to a prep area where they would clean the inside real quick and flag the owner, getting a nice tip. They were quite successful!

    I'm sure that volume business was based on a much lower price. You'll pretty much only cater to men, as well, which will cut down volume.

    I like the idea- but I'm also cheap. I think if you lower the price and make the girls work for tips you can offer a much more affordable starting price.

    As for the decency laws, that's simple. Just get one of those huge steel framed tent buildings and have the girls wash the cars in that. That way they're out of sight both to the general public and people trying to catch a glimpse without paying the fee.
