10 Exclusive Engineering Designs Only Available from Motor City Wash Works

Color Skins
Color skins are snap on plastic covers that match the shape of our aluminum equipment structure. The skins are offered in endless colors and are made of a non-porous chemical resistant material that is easily washed and kept looking like new. Equipment owners can color match their brand throughout the tunnel. Even after years of operation, an entire tunnel full of equipment can be reskinned and older equipment can present a fresh, updated look.

Color Skins with Accents
Color skin accents are snap-on, plastic covers that physically fill the gap between Color Skin structure wraps. When installed, accents create built-in protected chase ways for all the required utility lines. All lines are hidden from view and protected from the elements present in a carwash tunnel. Like Color Skins, accents offer all the same color brand imaging options.

Cloth Roll Assemble
Both cotton cloth, used for washing the sides of vehicles, and Dry N’ Shine material, used for drying the entire vehicle, are assembled utilizing this patented approach. In both cases, the results are superior to all other fastening methods. This patented assembly forces the wash/dry material to contact the vehicle surface with only the thin edge of the wash material, never engaging the flat surface of the media. As the wheel assembly rotates in contact with the surface of the vehicle being processed, it creates an endless contact point that operates at incredibly low decibel levels and reaches areas typically bridged by traditional wash/dry wheel assembles offered within the industry. Clean better! Dry better! Insist on Motor City’s patented Cloth Roll assemble.

Friction Curtain with Offset Racks
Front to back Mitter curtains have long been proven to be a simple, yet effective, way to clean the horizontal surfaces of vehicles. This patent does not disturb the simplicity of the design, yet improves the end results. Traditionally, a front to back Mitter moves the left side cloth racks forward, while the opposite right side racks move back. They continuously swing, passing each other in the middle, between the left side and the right side racks. The space between left side and right side racks will leave a untouched stripe of dirt down the center of the vehicle being washed. However, the Motor City Front to Back Mitter patent design allows left and right side racks to overlap the center line and eliminates the center gap. Therefore creating even cleaning across the entire horizontal surface.

Top Wheel
It’s all about saving tunnel space, and Motor City’s Top Wheel can fit into seven feet of tunnel space, at least three feet less than our competition. That’s because our counter weight is mounted on the same side of the frame as the washing wheel. Other traditional designs hang the counter weight past the pivot point of the frame on the opposite side. Our patented design means more wash power in less space.

Axis Arch 2
No matter how good your Wrap A Round wheels are, they cannot clean the recessed areas of the front grill, around recessed license plates, around wiper blades, the back windows of pickup trucks or the space next to spare tires mounted on the backside of some SUV’s. You may be able to address some of these problem areas by targeting each one of them with some sort of wigwag bank of high pressure nozzles dedicated to cleaning a certain problematic area. However, by the time you address all the problem areas on the front, back and horizontal surfaces you would probably have consumed 10 to 15 feet of tunnel space and required 80 GPM of high pressure water.

Our Axis Arch solution is only 18GPM of high pressure water and only requires 5 feet of tunnel space. It starts low on the front end of the vehicle, and traces from front to rear while maintaining a consistent operating distance of 24 inches from the surface of the car. Its movement is smooth and fast and always points the nozzles at the most optimum cleaning impingement angle. Our patented collision break-away feature prevents potential vehicle damages and allows the high pressure manifold to stay operating at an optimum distance from the targeted surface.

Profiler Dryer
Over the last 40 years, many car wash equipment manufacturers from around the world have offered different drying systems that profile the horizontal surfaces of vehicles. The benefits of profiling vehicle shapes is significant. The air existing in the outlet of a nozzle will immediately begin to dissipate and lose its desired contact path. The further away a nozzle is from its target the greater the loss of impact. So, the closer you can profile the vehicle’s shape with a drying nozzle, the better your drying result. With that being understood, the obvious question is, why aren’t there more profiling dryers on the market?

The fact is that it is very difficult to design a profiling dryer that works consistently, without failing and damaging customer cars. However, that is exactly what we did, and not only did we successfully design a profiling dryer, we designed it so that there is no chance of damaging a customer’s car. So, in this case, when you buy a Motor City Profiler Dryer you can have your cake and eat it too.

Super Shiner
The Motor City Tire Shiner has a lot of great patented features. First, the 12” replaceable cloth applicator pads that consistently last 150,000 cars or more. They absorb and hold expensive chemicals, reducing excess from puddling on the floor. The soft cloth pads also rub the chemicals into the tire, not leaving chemical setting on the surface of the tire that will be thrown onto the lower quarter panels of the car when the customer leaves the property. The chemical dosing system is 99% repeatable time after time to a fraction of a 1 Mil. The best feature is the two-in-one on demand guide rail/applicator. When in its rest position, the guide rail side of the applicator arm guides the tire past the tire shiner machine without allowing the tire to hit the applicator and transfer undesired tire chemical onto a customer’s car that did not pay for the service.

Dry N’ Shine
Motor City’s mechanical drying system, the Dry N’ Shine, stands alone as the most effective drying system in the industry. Hands down, it’s the most powerful 5 HP of drying available. It has two patented features that are not available from any other manufacturer. First, the machine washes and dries itself without any human interface. Its programmable software can be adjusted to conform to the requirements of the car wash on any particular day. If the car wash is busy, the machine will increase the mechanical drying cycles between cars to keep the drying material dry. This means even when you’re processing 800 car days, your machine will dry the last customer as well as the first. After any pre-set number of cars washed, the machine will automatically wash the drying material at night. By the time the car wash opens the next morning, the machine’s drying material is clean and ready for another busy day. Install a Motor City Dry N’ Shine machine, save on expensive electric bills, decrease finishing labor and increase your dollars per customer by as much as 30%.

Conveyor Safety Exit Trap Door
The safest conveyor just became even safer. The Super Duty Conveyor just received another great safety feature, and it’s another Motor City Wash Works patented exclusive. The exit trap door on the super duty conveyor can no longer be accidentally pushed open by a human foot. Even a really strong, big man cannot force the trap door open with a foot and get stuck under the top deck of the conveyor where the danger of moving parts is located. In order for the trap door to open, it requires the power of the hydraulic system to force open the door when the dollie begins its return path to the entrance of the car wash conveyor. The force required to open the trap door will not allow a person’s foot to slip through the opening intended only for the dollie pushing the car down the conveyor. This eliminates the most dangerous pinch point on any conveyor. Keep your car wash as safe as possible, install the industry’s safest conveyor, install the Super Duty.
