A quick walk-through of the "Carwash" in Joshua Tree. Located miles from Pinto Basin Road in Joshua Tree National Park and accessible only by hiking on foot is the "car wash" - a wash, full of old abandoned cars from the 1940's and 1950s.

The exact location of the Car Wash is a closely guarded secret.
