Exterior Rollover Car Wash
The Exterior Rollover Car Wash System is a very effective style of car wash in situations where space is limited. These are often seen as a stand alone unit along side of gas stations and the two businesses compliment each other very well. Often it is possible for a driver to receive a reduced price on a car wash when they purchase a certain number of gallons of fuel thereby promoting both the fuel side and the car wash side of the location at once. In ideal situations it is possible for the driver to purchase a car wash directly from the gas pump where they are filling their tank and the ticket is printed out on their gas receipt.
In this style of car wash a vehicle drives into a bay similar in size to a self wash bay and stops once in the proper position. The driver is alerted when the car is in the correct position by a loud horn, a flashing light or both. Once the vehicle is in park the car wash will being to operate and run through a variety of washing, rinsing and drying cycles.
In this case the car is cleaned by a mechanically moving a rack that travels back and forth over the top, and along the sides of, the stationary vehicle. These washing cycles can vary from a simple wash with three or four passes to a deluxe package with pre-wash, soap, rinse, undercarriage, wheel cleaner, polish and/or wax, and drying cycles.
This style of car wash can be very popular due to the hands-off nature of the process. The customer drives in, car wash goes through the cycles and driver leaves the car wash. Simple, easy for people to use and your customers do not even have to get out of their car.
This style of car wash can be a very profitable system as everything involved has a preset use on the consumables (water, power, soap, wax, foam, etc.) With a self wash system the business owner is not sure if the customer will use lots of soap, the foaming brush, or simply spray the car with rinse water for the entire allotted time. In the worse case scenario it is possible that a customer will occupy a self service bay for a long period of time performing tasks from which the business owner makes no profit (cleaning trash from the car, hand washing the car without the timer going, talking on a cell phone and so on). With a Exterior Rollover Car Wash System everything is controlled from the time in the bay to the amount of soap and water used. It’s a nice system combined with a gas station or in addition to several hand wash bays as well.
