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™ 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.
