We tried to come up with some reasoning, but I think we fell far short:

simply. this car is flooded. so, it make sense for him to use high pressure spray to clean up the interior.

Word to the wise, hand wash your own cars. Park your own cars, don't leave it with the valet.

The man looks Arab, and since I myself live there, I believe I have the answer for you...

The man is Egyptian, who represent, no exaggeration, over 90% of gas attendant workers/car washers here. They've been known to do that here.

Why, as a matter of fact, one of them shoved a power washer down the exhaust pipe of my CBR to "clean" it. :S

Mystery solved.

Dude washing that whity Benz is a gipsy from Macedonia in Europe.
Benz got plates from Italy.
Owner was carrying a dead body in the backseat and had to remove all the nasty smell and possible blood?

To get the skunk smell out.

Now ask yourself how the skunk smell got in there to start with?

My guess is the washing dude and his buddies were partying and drinking way too much the night before. The washing dude and his buddies all decided that they had way too much to drink and all at the same time decided to blow chunks everywhere inside of the car. Next morning he woke up to find dried chunks and some not so dry chunks everywhere...

Thus the power wash inside the car...

Op... Cmon now... That wasn't too difficult to figure out...

No No No you all got it wrong.

The guy is a F**WIT !! Simple cut and dried (unlike the interior of the car).
I think I saw him on another "youtube clip" burying roadside bombs in Iraq but he wasn't happy with the earth on top of it so he hit it with a spade a few times....

It also explains why if there is other sentient beings elsewhere in the Universe, they haven't bothered to contact us...

I'm sorry but this is too much... Absolutely unacceptable

If I were in that car's locale I would send the video to the police see if they could contact the owner of the vehicle and see if he knows about this.

Would be wonderful if he were on the forum.

clearly they are not Arabs or Egyptians since they weren't talking in arabic language and the license plate isn't from any Arabic country !!
in the vid info says
this car is not mine owner alone wash
any car washing will not want to wash this benz on their own account in Macedonia
his owner is doing what he wants

You know, when I first saw this I mentioned to my wife, the owner of that CLS must have been banging that guys wife. Otherwise, it really escapes me as to why he would have ruined that car.

I think you are right. The owner of that car must be banging the guy's wife. LOL! what a waste thought. What he should have done is open the hood of the car and open the oil cap and ram the power washer inside the engine and literally "engine wash" it.

If not maybe those guys are bunch of millionaires and are high.

I am at a loss for words here. I could not even do such a thing to a honda Civic.
