It is early morning in the Los Angeles metropolis of throughways, service stations, used-car lots, quick-lunch spots and portable swimming pools sold at a discount. And it's the start of another day at the Deeluxe Car Wash. Against a background of disc-jockey patter and pulsating soul music, this exuberant movie offers a marvellously funny portrait of the staff and the people who bring in their status symbols for servicing.
