5. Rollover Car Wash
Vehicle remains stationary as the machine “rolls-over” the vehicle during the wash process

By Ryko Manufacturing

6. Mini Tunnel Car Wash
Vehicle drives onto a conveyor, places car in neutral and a roller gently pulls/pushes the vehicle through the wash
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

7. Drive-Through Car Wash
No conveyor; semi trained personnel drive the vehicle through the wash
Mainstay with fleet operators, auto dealerships, etc.

8. Touch-Free Wash Equipment
Touch free washes use only a chemical solution and High Impact water streams for the wash process
Presoaks “run-down” the vehicle, getting behind vehicle accessories and obstructions
Some of today's touch-free systems use low ph/high ph presoak applications to better attack road film
Less chance of marking the vehicles’ finish since you are only applying presoak and then rinsing it off

9. Touch-Free Wash Equipment
Degree of cleaning is consistent over the entire vehicle surface
Fewer opportunities for end users to claim vehicle damage
With the right designs, presoak and High Impact rinse can get to otherwise hard to reach areas
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

10. Friction Wash Equipment
Since you are not relying on multiple presoak/rinse passes or dwell times, wash times average about two minutes
Road film is gently washed away every time
This technology does not require the constant monitoring and adjusting for temperature, water, soil conditions or other variables
More effective on bugs, bird droppings and highly encrusted muddy areas

11. Friction Wash Equipment (cont.)
Since this equipment uses some form of friction to actually scrub the vehicle, low cost, environmentally safe, soap is consumed in small quantities
Since very mild detergents are used, the useful life of accessory equipment such as doors, heaters, and lights, is greatly extended
No possibility of chemical damage to vehicle finishes, rubber moldings, glass & chrome, etc.
Water heaters and softeners are not necessary

12. Friction Wash Equipment (cont.)
Given that friction washes utilize low pressure water, overall maintenance is greatly reduced, especially as the equipment ages

13. Friction Car Wash Choices
Poly-Filament Brushes
Soft Cloth
FoamBrite
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

14. Poly-Filament Brushes or Velvet Touch
Velvet Touch Car Washes use a poly-filament strand to gently scrub the vehicle clean.
Tiny poly-filaments get into all the cracks and crevasses of today's complex vehicle designs, virtually eliminating all soil, road film and shadowing
Due to the low density of the poly-filament strands, should they get wedged behind a piece of body molding, the poly-filament will break off rather than damaging the vehicle
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

15. Poly-Filament Brushes or Velvet Touch (cont.)
The poly-filaments are non-porous, meaning they will not absorb water or particulate, remaining light weight and clean during the wash process
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

16. Soft Cloth
The perception is that Soft Cloth is more gentle than brushes and won’t mark your car
Indeed, if the cloth material is kept clean and cleaning pads replaced at the first sign of wear, it shouldn’t mark the vehicle and can even deliver a polishing effect

17. FoamBrite This new product is, technically, a closed-cell co-polymer
It is extremely light, comprised mostly of air bubbles and as a result, has very minimal mass to strike the vehicles service
It is very elastic and can deform easily to slip through spaces that might catch other materials
Since the material is closed-cell it does not absorb water or particulates and spins dry for onboard drying operations
FoamBrite has been designed to break off to avoid damage

18. FoamBrite (cont.)
Test results prove that with repeated washing, FoamBrite, increases the gloss on vehicles’ surfaces, especially oxidized paint
Due to the low mass and non-absorbing nature, FoamBrite stays lightweight for a quiet, gentle wash
Ultra-Sonics have been designed into the tall arms to disengage the upper half when washing around the mirrors, further reducing damage potential

19. Combination Rollover Car Wash
Designed to appeal to entire customer base by offering the following:
Multiple touch free wash selections with all the popular options
Multiple FoamBrite wash selections with all the popular options
Combination wash option utilizing touch free and FoamBrite washing technology

20. Combination Rollover Car Wash
Essential at marginal car wash sites where you must attract all potential customers
Combination wash uses FoamBrite to clean/polish painted surfaces and High Impact technology to clean areas that cannot be reached with FoamBrite
Since few of your competitors offer combination technology and the quality is very apparent, you should be able to charge more for the wash. Nationally, 15% to 25% of customers are selecting the combination wash

21. Combination Rollover Car Wash
Capture rates and/or car wash-to-gallons sold ratios, will improve dramatically by appealing to all customers
Will fit in most bays that can accommodate other rollover wash equipment
Can appeal to the masses at a fraction of the cost of purchasing two wash systems and constructing two wash bays
If one system fails, in most cases you can continue to operate the other system

FoamBrite VS Touch Free Sales Data
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

24. Rollover VS. Mini Tunnel
Can wash a standard sized vehicle in as little as 25 ft. of bay length
Can offer upgrade services without additional building considerations
Rollovers generally can wash between 15 and 30 cars per hour
Less building and property expense
Less utility expense for heating
More user-friendly

25. Rollover VS. Mini Tunnel
Attendant free operation
Can deliver all wash services without sacrificing throughput
Can wash between 40 and 90 cars per hour depending on conveyor speed, drastically reducing or eliminating waiting times at busy sites or peak wash periods
Your site becomes a destination during peak wash periods due to minimal waiting, also increasing gas & c-store revenue
Higher perceived value

26. Friction VS. Touch Free Mini Tunnel
Touch-Free Mini Tunnels
Dwell time, which is critical to the cleaning process, is achieved by adding distance between presoak arches, adding bay length
Keeping the vehicles surface dry prior to presoak application is also challenging in this high pressure environment
It is very challenging to apply presoak and high pressure rinse to the front and rear of this “moving target”, resulting in inconsistent wash quality

By Ryko Manufacturing

27. Friction VS. Touch Free Mini Tunnel
Touch Free Mini Tunnels (cont.)
To achieve the consistent quality demands of today's customers, attendants are many times employed to finish the cleaning process by toweling down the vehicles at the exit end
When cars are laden with road film and the presoaks’ just aren’t cutting it, conveyor speeds can be reduced to allow more dwell time
9/19/2018
By Ryko Manufacturing

28. Friction VS. Touch Free Mini Tunnel
Friction mini tunnel
Consistent wash quality
Can generally install more revenue generating options in a given bay length
Front and rear of vehicle are cleaned by the same “wraps” that clean the sides
Toweling down is unnecessary
If conditions allow, conveyor speeds can be increased, generating even more revenue

33. What Options Do I Need?
When it comes to building menus that will produce all the revenue your car wash is capable of generating, the equipment needs to have all the revenue producing features available with a wash system

Spot Free Rinse
Tri-Foaming Wax/Detergents
Tire Treatment

35. Optional Services
The options cited have become necessities in today’s market by consumer demand, if you can’t provide them, your customers will go to your competitor

36. The Bottom Line
Simply do the math. Monthly or annual revenue is a function of number of cars washed multiplied by wash menu prices. If wash prices for the rollover and the conveyor are the same, the revenue levels will vary depending on the number of cars washed
