Observation
Window 1
| Upon entry into the
wash tunnel, technicians apply bug remover to the front of the
car and mirrors as well as bright if required. Using HOT
WATER HIGH PRESSURE WASHERS, bugs and excess dirt are removed
from the vehicle. It's done manually, so if your car
needs extra attention, it gets it. When the car is ready
for the rest of the process, the computer is activated to move
the vehicle through the wash tunnel. |

|
As
the vehicle begins to move down the conveyor, the tires are
automatically cleaned (including whitewalls). At the
same time, the length of the vehicle and exact location of the
wheels is measured and stored in the computer. |

|
| The
vehicle then goes through an arch that applies a presoak to
loosen the surface dirt on the vehicle. The vehicle then
moves approximately 15 feet with nothing else happening.
This allows time (called dwell time) for the presoak to break
down the dirt. |
 |
Observation
Window 2
After the presoak
loosens the dirt, through vehicle goes through a hot water
high pressure arch that uses up to 24 high pressure nozzles to
remove all of the dirt from the vehicle. After the
process, the only thing remaining on the vehicle is a thin
non-abrasive film.
This is a VERY IMPORTANT part of the wash
process. The objective of the car wash should be to wash
the car, not sand it. If the heavy dirt is not removed
it can accumulate in the washing utensils and that's what can
scratch the surface of the vehicle.
|

|
An
arch automatically applies more soap. The vehicle goes
through a soft lambs wool mitter curtain and side washers that
remove the thin film. Clean fresh water is cascading
over the mitter curtain and vehicle. |

|
Observation
Window 3
| Another high
pressure arch rinses the soap from the vehicle. If you
choose the clearcoat protection option, the triple foam polish
is applied. It then goes through yet another lambs wool
mitter curtain. |

|
At the same
time, high pressure wheel blasters clean the wheels. As the result
of the system measuring the exact location of the wheels, the wheel
blasters rotate and track the wheels as they go by resulting in
sparkling clean wheels. If the vehicle is clean but the wheels are
dirty, the vehicle simply doesn't look good. |

|
|
Observation
Window 4
The
vehicle then goes through a series of water rinse arches with
the last rinse being reverse osmosis (R/O) water for spot free
rinsing. Five powerful air dryers remove 90% of the water.
Then the vehicle is hand towel dried. Door jambs are
wiped.

You're on your way in a
sparkling clean vehicle!
