Car Wash Equipment

 Car wash equipment can be catagorized into commercial and residential areas of business.  This page is dedicated to give you pricing for both realms and share the current technologies used with current and upcoming car wash equipment.

 Commercial car washes have been around for a while and provide an easy and fast alternative to hand washing your car.  There are many types of tunnel car washed for car wash businesses and along with the different types there is also a difference in wash quality. 

One of the best car wash systems is the conveyor tunnel system.  There are many different manufacturers that make a complete conveyor system and if you are looking to purchase one you should contact these manufacturers directly.  A conveyor wash systems works by pulling the car onto the conveyor belt and then putting the car in neutral and letting the conveyor belt pull it through the car wash.  The conveyor belt typically takes the car through soft towel brushes, high pressure wash equipment, soap distributors, and a high speed air dryer to wick away the water to give the car a nice dry surface. 

Another type of popular automated car wash is the type that just uses a high pressure spray system with no brushes.  The customer typically pulls the car in a small tunnel and the pressure sprayer rotates on a track and goes back and forth to clean the car surface.  These washes typically do not have a dryer mechanism. 

The main benefits to an automated car was system is:

• You save money by not having to hire anyone to run or monitor the system as it is automatic.
• Automatic washes make receiving payment easy as the customer has to pay first in order to use the wash.
• Car washes can be operable 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

The downside to having an automatic car wash are as follows.

• Parts are easily broken by natural part failing, or unmonitored customer abuse.
• When one part goes out, the whole system is automatically shut off.
• Replacement can be expensive as a technician has to be hired.

Overall automatic commercial car washing equipment is constantly advancing to improve washing and the overall customer experience.

 The old method of washing your car has been made much easier over the years.  Although commercial car washes do a good job, nothing can beat a car wash done by hand.  The reason is that you can really grab a soft sponge or brush and scrub away bugs, dirt, and other natural transfers. 

Back in the day there was really only sponges and towels that a person could use to wash their car.  Today we have all sorts of assortments of soft brushes, micro fiber towels, electric buffers, and polishes and cleaners gallore.  Our advice is to pick a very gentle cleaner as you do not want to hurt or damage your paint because re-painting a car can be very expensive.
