Quite Possibly the Best Car Wash Ever

March 25, 2013 Sheila Still No comments

When most people think of a car wash experience, “fun” usually isn’t the word they’d use to describe it. Most customers prefer to just go in and come out of a car wash as soon as mechanically/humanly possible. But for two Ford Fusion owners, “fun” doesn’t even begin to describe their car wash experiences.

Recently, Ford conducted an undercover operation targeting a young man and man. The targets’ cars were individually subjected to a hand wash by secret service look-alikes, a back massage, a manicure, a dry by dancing cheerleaders, and a final inspection by a tuxedoed man.

Obviously Ford’s undercover operation was staged, and the young man and woman were likely in on it; nevertheless, it’s still pretty cool to watch. Take a look at the video of this 5-star car wash treatment provided by Ford:
