If you pick a car that is dusty / muddy, you can be pretty sure that the owner is not overly fussy about their car, and hence quite likely to have a positive reaction to a free wash. The probability that someone with an obviously dirty car getting actively upset about an unsolicited wash would seem to be sufficiently low to justify the risk, I would have thought.

- drbawb 15y agoI own a minivan that's dusty/muddy/salty. I would definitely be very happy if I walked outside and found that my van was cleaned up, even without my knowledge. The whole "leave your car unlocked so we can clean the interior" thing scares me a bit, though. The audio system in my van is worth $1k+ and it could be easily removed in the time it takes to do a car wash. :I
- dotBen 15y agoEqually though, someone who has a dusty/muddy car (esp in a city rather than rural area) probably values a car wash less than someone who actually has their car washed every week so their car looks relatively clean. I keep my TT looking clean because I care a lot about the car and so have it washed every week. I'm probably the target customer for a service like this. I'd also be pissed, as I said above, if someone unsolicited washed my car.
