These "car washers" are up to the same trick as the "scrap metal collectors" and "Big Issue vendors".
Access to Benefits by doing a menial job for the minimum hours required, all at income levels that mean no Income Tax.
Quote:
If you are a Romanian and Bulgarian national (‘A2 nationals’) you may not claim jobseekers allowance or income support until you have legally worked in the UK without interruption for a period of 12 months of continuous employment.
If you become unemployed before 12 months of continuous employment has been reached, you are not entitled to housing benefit, council tax benefit, allocation of social housing or the provision of homelessness assistance, or income support or job seekers allowance.
An A2 national who has worked legally in the UK without interruption for a period of 12 months may apply for benefits such as jobseekers allowance and income support, housing benefit, council tax benefit, child benefit and child tax credits.

So a year of menial work, then you can sit back and rake it all in....
