This is the moment a man decided to take a naked shower in a public car wash - earning a telling-off from the owner.

A video shows the man covering his crotch with his hands while a friend hoses him down at a car wash in the Australian state of Queensland.

Parklands Car and Dog wash boss Geoff Bowen said he was shocked when he saw the CCTV footage because the dangerous chemicals used to clean cars could cause severe burns on human skin.

The car wash features four self-service bays, an automatic wash and a dog-washing facility.

None should be used to clean humans, Mr Bowen said.

The man first used the automatic facility, which uses an acidic spray used to get dirt off cars, before moving onto a self-service bay where his friend sprayed him with water.

Mr Bowen told local paper the Sunshine Coast Daily: "To get that on you and get stuck there is bad, you can get skin burns from the chemicals, which is why he went to the self-serve bay and doused himself down.

"He couldn't run the gurney on himself so he got his mate to do it who seemed to have a bit of fun.

"Apparently he is fine, but he probably won't be doing something like that again."

The car wash, on the Sunshine Coast 55 miles north of Brisbane, opened for the first time in July.
