A Montreal car wash has undergone a complete transformation as part of MURAL Fest.

World-renowned urban artist Joshua Vides, who is known for making real-life 3D objects appear as simple 2D black and white sketches, applied his signature treatment to a Mercedes-Benz A-Class and a 40-year-old car wash at the corner of Saint-Urbain and Laurier, in Montreal’s Laurier-Ouest neighbourhood.

Vide’s artwork, dubbed “Le Lave-Auto,” is expected to become a popular photo spot as the exhibition will remain on site for the foreseeable future. “We are very excited about the project and excited to become a landmark in the city,” says owners Royal and Daniel Asselin, in a press release.

“We are proud to present this unique installation and to be a part of creating something that will no doubt become a Montreal landmark,” says Virginie Aubert, Vice President of Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Canada. “So often a vehicle is an expression of its driver’s personality. In this case, a car and a car wash have literally become canvasses for Joshua’s creativity.”

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the exhibition from the 29-year-old Guatemalan artist, here are a few snaps from Instagram to tide you over until you do.

And while you’re at, you might as well get an actual car wash, just in time for the weekend.
