Yeah, I think he might have missed a spot. Or two.

They are not talking Italian, they are Serbians or Macedonians that are cleaning up the dead body smell in there

The car is probably already written off as a theft loss from the owner in Italy after it was hijacked or stolen there.

By now it will be replated and have risen resplendent, and running up and down the street in Skopje, Macedonia, Belgrade (Beograd) in Serbia or (most likely) Tirana, in Albania, <------ which has more Mercedes Benzes per capita than any other country in the world, virtually all of them stolen from Western Europe.

We used to do that at my detail shop. Lol. No wonder the electrics were on the fritz after a clean-up. Drove the dealers crazy. Hahaaa.... friggin' thieves.

Not sure if this story is believable...

MINA Breaking News - Macedonian Power-Washes his Mercedes' Interior

Macedonian Power-Washes his Mercedes' Interior
Monday, 10 October 2011
A Macedonian living in Italy drove his 2011 Mercedes CLS 350 CDI to a Skopje car wash. He requested a power wash for his car's interior.

The Car Wash employee thought the car owner was joking so naturally, he laughed it off and continued washing the exterior of the car.

The Mercedes owner was adamant about washing the interior so when the car wash employee refuse to do it, the owner took matters in his own hands, as you can see from the video. The stunned car wash employee quickly grabbed a cam and begun filming what has quickly become a youtube hit. You can hear the employee telling the delusional owner to stay away from electronics and the steering wheel.

But here is where it becomes bizarre. MINA's Novak Petrovski has a friend in San Francisco who owns a car dealership there. We have contacted the individual and sent him a link to the video.

Here is an email response from the car dealer in San Fran.

"This is not strange at all. In fact, we do this at our place all the time, but with used cars. Every car dealer does this. We powerwash them inside to get rid of dirt and stains. I sure hope the Mercedes owner had some towels on hand after his power wash :-)"

Power washing a 2011 Mercedes perhaps doesn't qualify as a "used car", but there you have it. Lets hope the man actually used some towels at the end.

Ok...that's a scary thought but perhaps it partially explains some of those "Certified pre-owned" horror stories.

I do not care what happened or why. I had to turn it off a few seconds into the vid. It was to painful to watch. Who ever did that to a oil burner CLS that we do not even get here in the states ought to be drawn and quartered.
