Movie Summary: This day-in-the-life cult comedy focuses on a group of friends working at Sully Boyar’s Car Wash in the Los Angeles ghetto. The team meets dozens of eccentric customers – including a smooth-talking preacher, a wacky cab driver and an ex-convict – while cracking politically incorrect jokes to a constant soundtrack of disco and funk. Some of the workers find romance as the day moves along, but most are just happy to get through another shift.
Queer Film LA Says: "Honey, I am more man than you'll ever be and more woman than you'll ever get" is the iconic snap-back from gay-and-proud Lindy in this cult Black comedy about the employees at a Los Angeles carwash.
