The vehicle is pulled under the rectangular frame of the car wash system. The operator activates the pneumatic system by pressing a wash button. The frame rinses the vehicle with 52 brass water jets on the downstroke.
The frame stops at wheel level, and chemical pumps are activated. The frame rises, spraying water and an environmentally-safe biodegradable chemical over the entire vehicle.
Based on the vehicle’s size, 2-, 3- or 4-minutes of elapsed time is provided by a high-tech computer. During this time, the operator uses the applicator to break the static bond between the vehicle and road film.
A high-pressure air-water gun is used to remove disc brake film, ice, snow and caked-on mud under the wheel arches and undercarriage. It also degreases the engine compartment.
A bell signals the end of the detailing cycle. The car wash system frame automatically lowers and rises, thoroughly rinsing the vehicle.
The frame completes the final cycle, applying a protective paint sealant to produce a high-gloss finish. Where applicable, an optional spot-free rinse sprays water eliminating chamois or towel drying for a perfect showroom shine.
