Anyone who’s on this road, has only one thing in mind. A great car wash.

If you come to a car wash you come to get your car washed. If you want to go play with women, then you go play with women.

A normal car wash is rather banal. Brushes, water, detergent, revolving britsles is about as much as you can expect. At the most, it’s dull.

But, it’s easy on the wallet. A topless car wash will set you back about ten times as much.

Yes, I did. I heard it on the radio. I just heard on the radio that somebody was proposing a topless car wash and it was in the newspaper as well.
Question: Would you go there?
1.30
man
I would go there. Why not?

VOX POP
Excellent service, value for money, that’s what I actually want for my money. I wouldn’t do it, just pay for nothing or just to see a topless lady. No.
1.43
Appointments for the wash must be made by phone. There are no signs. Advertisements are placed in appropriate newspapers. In the middle of the South African countryside, business is booming. News about the new business has travelled fast. And, demand is high. The customers are taking the bait and aren’t shying away.

Are you here for a car wash? Do you want one or two women? It's 100 rand per lady for a topless car wash..
2.15
In South Africa that’s a lot of money - about a week’s wages for a working man. But this young man wants to have fun.

2.36
The women wash about 10 cars a day. Sunday’s it’s even more. Even church goers treasure the rotating breasts.
2.50
But for prudish South Africans, a view like this would be hard to take.

The country used to be religious. But in the new, democratic South Africa, things have become much freer than during the rigid Apartheid era.
3.13
Sex and prostitution in the cities isn’t taboo anymore.

3.30
But here in the countryside, this kind of service is a novelty.
3.53
statement man
Oh it was excellent. Totally breath taking.
3.59
This is the main cross-roads in the small village, which we can’t name. These young women have already had enough trouble. A few months ago, there were more horses than cars in this area. But since the topless car wash has been on offer, there’s been a lot more traffic. People here near the port city of Durban aren’t doing too badly. Their properties are large, the houses of good quality. Who would guess there’s a sex business here?
4.25
The women kill time until the next car wash - until the next service. Each decides their own working hours. They are both bringing up children by themselves.

mother of three
I’ve tried different jobs, but there are just no vacancies. And, I suppose this is the only way out to support my kids and this is what I will do until I find a decent job.
4.56
mother of two
They are all the same be they a college student, a priest, a political figure, even a policeman. They all come here to enjoy themselves, to relax, to have a lady to spoil and pamper them. Look, I could tell you I’ve had a priest, and I can tell you I’ve had a policeman in here, I can even tell you some minister walks in here, but it all boils down to one thing, a man’s a man. They all want it.
5.26
This one is no exception. The car wash hadn’t totally satisfied him - quite the opposite. So he’s opted for the extras - like this bubble bath.

5.50
A normal bath is a little narrow for two. But with this kind of pampering it doesn’t seem to matter. The camera is also here, following every move. Control, control is the motto.

Man
It's cold!
Woman
It's not it's nice and warm!
6.45
The mother of one of the women was also in the sex trade for a couple of years. She’s shocked her daughter has chosen the same path.
6.53
woman's mother
Well, I was really upset about it. I was really totally against it because I’ve been through it and know what she’s going to go through. But she’s over 21. All I could do was advise her. But advice is no good if you don’t take the advice - which she didn’t. What can you do?
7.12
Four young women offer their services by phone. Not all of them want to be filmed. The mother acts as a manger.
7.30
The children don’t know what their mothers do. They think they run some kind of service garage with their grandmother.
7.43
The children get no financial support from their father. Their mother is a qualified hairdresser. But the money she could earn from that isn’t enough for the needs of her family.
8.00
Through prostitution, she earns thirty times as much - at least 30’000 Rand - over 5’000 US dollars. If she makes an effort, she can, sometimes, double that amount.
8.10
Ninety percent of men that come here want a bubble bath, a massage, and loveplay. Most aren’t interested in hard sex and they don’t want to play an active role. Here they just want to switch off - and that has a price. Exactly 350 Rand - about 58 US dollars an hour. (free)
9.07
There’s other accommodation in the village. But here guests pay for just an overnight stay and breakfast. What do they think about their neighbours?
9.24
Amy Wiley, guest house owner
I feel if it stays as a car wash and is a fun thing then I’ve got no objections. But if it goes further than that, then I would object most strongly.
Question: Would you be interested in going to see what it’s like?
9.41
Chris Wiley
I don’t know. You would have to ask my wife. Basically I can wash my own car and it won’t cost me 100 Rand and my wife can do it topless as well.
9.50
But just this once, his wife does let him have a taste of an experience that's just a little different....
10.05
He seems to have enjoyed his outing. His car, however, will soon be dirty again. It’s over a kilometre down this dusty track to the sealed main road.
10.23
A good reason to come back again.
