Interesting they scrub from back to front. Is this common? I scrub from front to back. Does it matter?

Engineers always have a reason for doing something like this.

My guess it has to do with timing.

For example, solution pass is normal speed but wash pass is very S-L-O-W.

Perhaps back to front is used because this system is 3-brush rather than 5-brush.

I don't think I would like the cloth dragging along the floor like this. That seems like a "your car wash scratched my paint" bonanza. Also, don't think I could go without guide rails.

I have a 5 brush and it washes from rear to front and all the ones I have seen are setup the same way.

I have a Freestyler that hangs from rails and the cloth does drag just a little bit on the floor. I never had a complaint about damage to a car because the brushes drags on the ground. The centripetal force and constant water and soap spray keep the foam material clean. I also do not have guide rails and have not had an accident knock on wood. I like this design and would like to see it in person. I would consider the Profile and the Freestyler for when your up for a new machine.

It washes from rear to front from 5:00 - 7:30, and then front to rear from 7:30 - 8:30. There are probably options for how many passes of friction you want and how you want to set up your packages, but it seems to have the capability to clean in both directions.

It doesn't really matter which direction the machine is going with all three brushes on a straight-line axis - in and out for the sides, up and down for the top. They all clean and profile in both directions.

Foam on side wheels usually touches the floor in tunnels too - it just doesn't get dragged.

So how long does it take for solution, wash, wax, rinse and add 30-sec dry?

5-minutes?
I don't know - I wish they posted a video of one car straight through - start to finish so we would see the timing.
