A car wash service in Florida is creating hype by employing women in bikinis to wash and polish cars, Daily Mail reports.

Baywash Bikini Car Wash employs six young women, who wear bikinis as they wash vehicles. The car wash offers a variety of services from a $10 hand wash-and-dry to a $60 waxing.

Owner Steve McMahon, 47, started this business five years ago to raise money for his daughter’s school, but he now plans to open up similar shops across America in response to its soaring popularity.

He trains each employee in leather maintenance, drying windows with minimal streaking, wax coating and proper detailing methods.

“I enjoy working at Baywash. Some people can potentially view Baywash as sexist- but I don’t view it that way. It’s just my job,” says Jacki Orlando, 24, who has been working at the car wash for three years.

However, some local police officers have been banned for taking advantage of free services for law enforcement officers after they made repeated visits and secretly took photos at the car wash.
