POLICE say there is nothing illegal about naked women washing cars in a business in Albion, provided it is out of sight.
With Queensland in the grip of drought, the car wash business is booming -- a fact that has not gone unnoticed by the city's sex industry.
Police have given the green light to an adult car wash operated by strip club identity Warren Armstrong who says he is "just trying to make an honest dollar" with his topless and nude carwash service.
For $55, you can get your car washed by a topless woman and for $100 you can get a totally nude attendant with a X-rated show thrown in.
It is understood the business is using recycled water and complying with level five water restrictions.
Patrons get to 'watch' the carwash as it in progresses.
Police say they have not received any complaints about the Bubbles 'n' Babes carwash at Albion in the city's inner-north.
A police spokeswoman said the business was run in a closed shed out of public view and there had been no indication of wilful exposure.
"As it stands it's not a police issue," she said.
Armstrong gave evidence at the Fitzgerald inquiry into police corruption almost 20 years ago and was jailed for nine months after pleading guilty to keeping a premises for prostitution.
He told the City News newspaper this week that his latest operation was above board.
"I'm just trying to make an honest dollar - simple as that," he said in a rare interview.
