umm.... I'm guessing that:
A. Not so great for the interior
B. Won't kill your car
C. The kid driving it probably didn't work to pay for his car (or is really not too smart and/or caring about his stuff).

I'm surprised that the carwash allowed them to go through - liability?

The liability of the wash was the first thing that popped in my head.

A Mini viral ad? It certainly didn't make me want to buy a Mini, only punch those assholes out.

Several years ago, wasn't there a Levi's jeans ad in which a guy driving an AMC Gremlin, with a denim interior, drives it through a car wash with the windows open?

The Levi's interior was an option in 1973 according to wiki.
