The DRY N’ SHINE™ is not the first friction drying system ever sold in the car wash industry, but we think it’s the first to live up to the promise of consistently producing dry cars, one after the other, all day long, while using less horse power. We have designed the DRY N’ SHINE™ to overcome the two major obstacles of “old style” friction drying machines.

The first obstacle for the old machines was dirt. Even though the drying machine was supposed to be wiping clean cars, the drying material quickly became contaminated with dirt over a few days time and eventually transferred the dirt back onto the vehicles. The old solution was to rotate two sets of material, requiring constant labor and attention.

The DRY N’ SHINE™ solved the dirty drying material problem with a programmable automatic wash and rinse cycle that cleans and rinses the drying material when the car wash is closed. This feature self-cleans the drying material without any labor or constant attention. Simply set the self-cleaning wash cycle to run during off hours and the DRY N’ SHINE™ machine will be ready to go when your car wash opens in the morning.

The second problem was over-saturated drying material. Old style drying material was an artificial leather shammy, or a very thick, fast-absorbing synthetic material which quickly became saturated and rendered ineffective. Those materials do not dry out quickly enough to continue drying more than a few cars in a row.

Dry N' Shine

The DRY N’ SHINE™ handles the over-saturation issue with a programmable automatic spin dry cycle that dramatically accelerates evaporation in between cars. This feature has the ability to greatly increase the RPM of the drying wheels when they are not in contact with a vehicle, using centrifugal force to push water to the outer diameter of the drying wheel. While the drying wheels are spinning at the higher RPM’s in a spin dry cycle, a plastic bar the length of the drying wheels is forced into contact with the drying material and flings any accumulated water from the outer diameter of the drying wheels. The spin dry cycle allows the drying wheel to always remain in a state of absorption and therefore always effective.

The DRY N’ SHINE™ offers great customer appeal and loads of added value. It is able to effectively remove the last 20% of water droplets still remaining on vehicles directly following a 50 HP forced air dryer at a continuous operating rate in excess of 140 cars per hour without reaching the point of saturation. It is the first mechanical drying machine that can consistently produce dry cars, one after the other, all day long, while quietly using less horse power and offering exciting revenue opportunities.

“We installed the Dry N’ Shine to replace an existing Shammy Shiner, looking to remove the water droplets that were left on the vehicle after our blower. Since installing it, we offer it on our $20 wash or a la carte for $3 and have 35% of our customers using the Dry N’ Shine.
The controls of the Dry N’ Shine have made it easy for our site personnel, the spin dry and cleaning cycles keep the Dry N’ Shine working effectively on its own. With the Dry N’ Shine, we’ve been able to deliver a consistent, high quality product to our customers, which is important to us.”
Gary Baright
Foam and Wash
“We installed our first Dry N’ Shine in 2013 and noticed a significant improvement in the overall drying of our vehicles.
To improve our average per car, we offer the Dry N’ Shine on our top 3 washes ($15, $18 and $20), and market it as a product that buffs in our premium extra services and enhances the dryness of the vehicle. We have been very happy with the revenue results that have been achieved.
With the results we experienced at the first location we installed the Dry N’ Shine top surface unit at our other 5 locations, due to space limitations.
We have had very little maintenance with our Dry N’ Shines, the controls for the
machine have kept them performing and the drying material has had great life.
We would recommend the Dry N’ Shine to anyone looking to improve their revenue per car and drying performance.”
Logan Wild
Ultimate Shine Car Wash
“We recently remodeled one of our locations and installed the Dry N’ Shine. Our objective with the Dry N’ Shine was to improve the drying and enhance the value we delivered on every wash. The Dry N’ Shine has left a great impression on our customers and has helped us deliver a dry car that has an exceptional shine. The results of this remodel were better than we expected and the experience our customers have received because of the Dry N’ Shine has played a big role in our success.
If we had the space, we would put the Dry N’ Shine in all of our locations. We love it!”
Mark Curtis
Splash Car Wash
“We have recently installed our 3rd Dry N’ Shine top wheel. It is offered on every wash other than our base wash and on all full service washes. We were focused on completely drying the hoods and windshields of all vehicles, and the Dry N’ Shine has accomplished this for us.
Our customers love the experience of the Dry N’ Shine and comment on how quiet it is when they go through it. We have been very satisfied with the Dry N’ Shine.”
